Murdoch brings an aria to the boardroom
A 27-year old opera singer named Natalie will be the Bancroft representative serving on Rupert Murdoch's News Corp board. The Bancrofts controlled Dow Jones before agreeing to sell the company to Murdoch for $5 billion. The Wall Street Journal reports there was so much bickering among the Bancroft family when it came to nominating its own candidate to the News Corp board, Murdoch ended up having the final say. The Journal reports Bancroft acknowledges she's a neophyte to the worlds of journalism and commerce. She still needs to be approved by the other, all-male News Corp directors.
