From the beginning on, newspapers have prospered for one reason: giving readers the news that they want.

For better or for worse, our company (The News Corporation Ltd.) is a reflection of my thinking, my character, my values.

It's a libel to say that I use my newspapers to support my other business interests. The fact is, I haven't got any other business interests.

I can go into restaurants and a whole table will get up and clap if they recognize me, because they love Fox News. Other places - or even the same place - people will turn the other way.

Great journalism will always attract readers. The words, pictures and graphics that are the stuff of journalism have to be brilliantly packaged; they must feed the mind and move the heart.

People who watch 'Fox News,' you may say, and this is anecdotal, but they are passionate about it. In the most unlikely places, like down in Soho where I used to live, people would come up to me and thank me for it. People I didn't know from a bar of soap. People appreciate that at least they're being heard. It is much more watchable.
