Rupert Murdoch gives print a deadline – his 105th birthday

Rupert Murdoch has given the humble printed newspaper, the medium upon which he built his business’s bones, a 15-year deadline until its demise, “with a lot of luck”.

This was the most interesting part of Sky News’ The Australian: 60 Years of News, which aired on Monday night, with its centrepiece being an “exclusive” interview with Murdoch.

In the chat, Murdoch revealed he is not a climate change denier but a sceptic, sees artificial intelligence as a “force for good” despite admitting “it will put people out of work” and expects The Australian to be around in another 60 years “in some form”.
