Mr. Rupert Murdoch who was 80 years old and held influential newspaper and TV station in England. It was 15 years ago when the name was greatly reported in Japan.
He grasped 20 percent or more of the TV Asahi stock with Mr. Masayoshi Son of Softbank. The media field became a fuss as the black ships suddenly appeared 150 years ago in Japan.
The president of Asahi Shimbun at that time talked about Mr. Murdoch's impression, "Observing of the method of the persuasion to Mr.Son, it was feeling that a large senior was watching a mischievous junior as it was warm." Of course it was his business without relation to warmth.
The media tycoon is in the predicament. It is because the doubt that British popular paper of his subsidiary tapped many such as victims of the event deepened. The former top officials are caught, and this paper that boasts of the history of 168 years and the number of copies of 2.65 million is discontinued issuing. Position of the offense and the defense changed, and He is beaten now.
The problem is not only
's falls. The adhesion of the police and the political world came to light, and the top of London Metropolitan Police Department resigned. Prime Minister Cameron who is intimate to Mr.Murdoch explained every day, using the arrested former editor in chief.
The police did not investigate deeply though "Tapping habit" of this popular paper was known. The politician feared retaliation. However, the situation changes, too, if 4,000 people including a general person are tapped. People and competitors become angry to the systematic "Peep" and the distorted commercial principle.
Powerful media are very weak to an own scandal. Shameful news is only awkwardly passed on. Now, the media empire that builds by using general public's interest is struggling. Rare "Those who control about information" is being counterattacked by the general public.
