More quotes by Rupert Murdoch
I think the important thing is that there be plenty of newspapers, with plenty of different people controlling them, so that there are a variety of viewpoints, so there is a choice for the public. This is the freedom of the press that is needed.
Rupert Murdoch
If the head man in a company is not working 12 hours a day, doing things, taking risks, but also standing with his people in the trenches at the most difficult of times, then the company loses something.
Rupert Murdoch
While we reduce our own carbon footprint we will encourage the companies who truck our DVDs and newspapers, sell us paper, and provide an enormous range of products and services to all contribute.
Rupert Murdoch
The reality is that we've seen the last of any serious price wars for a long time. I don't think any of the others could afford it, certainly not on a long-term basis.
Rupert Murdoch
[Falling pound] makes us more competitive.
Rupert Murdoch
Is there any other industry [than the press] in this country which seeks to presume so completely to give the customer what he does not want?
Rupert Murdoch
To find something comparable, you have to go back 500 years to the printing press, the birth of mass media – which, incidentally, is what really destroyed the old world of kings and aristocracies. Technology is shifting power away from the editors, the publishers, the establishment, the media elite. Now it’s the people who are taking control.
Rupert Murdoch
The buck stops with me, but I can tick off dozens of very good senior executives that are responsible for hundreds or thousands of people who work for me.
Rupert Murdoch
When you're a catalyst for change, you make enemies - and I'm proud of the ones I've got.
Rupert Murdoch
Somebody talked me into writing an autobiography about six or seven years ago. And I said I'd try. We talked into a tape recorder, and after a couple of months, I said, To hell with it. I was so depressed. It was like saying, 'This is the end.' I was more interested in what the hell was coming the next day or the next week.
Rupert Murdoch
The UK desperately needs less government and freer markets.
Rupert Murdoch
[on Brexit] It's time for change. I just hope the right people give the right leadership.
Rupert Murdoch
As with all politically lead governments, foreign investment is the slowest in the media section. Politicians are somewhat paranoid about the media but we still think it's worthwhile.
Rupert Murdoch
Satellite broadcasting makes it possible for information-hungry residents of many closed societies to bypass state-controlled television channels.
Rupert Murdoch
You've got to look for a gap, where competitors in a market have grown lazy and lost contact with the readers or the viewers.
Rupert Murdoch
In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example - and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
Rupert Murdoch
As an immigrant, I chose to live in America because it is one of the freest and most vibrant nations in the world. And as an immigrant, I feel an obligation to speak up for immigration policies that will keep America the most economically robust, creative and freedom-loving nation in the world.
Rupert Murdoch
The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.
Rupert Murdoch
The buck stops with the guy who signs the checks.
Rupert Murdoch
We've got to get rid of the fear of failure in this country. In America, people start things, fail and shake themselves down and start things again. The animal spirit of capitalism is stronger there.
