Rupert Murdoch recently denied that there were any climate change deniers working at News Corp despite several of the company’s best-known columnists, such as Andrew Bolt and Piers Akerman, being long-time sceptics of the link between human activity and global warming.
James Murdoch continues to serve as a News Corp board member but plays far less of an active role in the company than his brother Lachlan, who is co-chairman of News Corp and the chief executive of Fox Corporation.
Lachlan is regarded as more conservative than James, who has long chafed at the editorial stance of Fox News, which has become closely aligned to US President Donald Trump and regularly casts doubt on climate science.
