Mr Murdoch is retiring as chairman of his Fox and News Corp businesses.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Morgan said: “Rupert Murdoch has been a bold, brilliant, visionary leader whose audacity & tenacity built a magnificently successful global media empire.
Morgan was the editor of the former tabloid newspaper until he jumped ship to the Daily Mirror, which he edited from 1995 to 2004, before signing a deal with Mr Murdoch’s News Corp and Fox News Media in 2021. So Rupert Murdoch ,93, is standing down as chairman of News Corp after 70 years. The greatest media entrepreneur of this, or any other age. It will lead to change. Assets sold and execs shown the door.Also paying tribute to Mr Murdoch’s business skills was the ex-editor of The Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie, who called his former boss the “greatest media entrepreneur of this, or any other age”.
