Sept 16 (Reuters) - Media mogul Rupert Murdoch arrived Monday morning at a Reno courthouse, where a battle over control of Murdoch’s global television and publishing empire will play out in a closed hearing.
Murdoch, 93, is attempting to change the terms of the family’s trust -- which holds significant stakes in Fox News parent FoxFOXA.O and Wall Street Journal owner News Corp NWSA.O. The billionaire is looking to ensure that upon his death, the media companies remain under the control of his eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch.
Lachlan and siblings Prudence, Elisabeth and James are also in Reno for the hearing.
