The move comes as News Corporation is attempting to acquire the 61pc it does
not already own of satellite broadcaster BSkyB, where James Murdoch is also
chairman.
James Murdoch has been appointed deputy chief operating officer and chairman
and chief executive, International. He is currently based in London as
chairman and chief executive, Europe and Asia.
The new role, which will see him work more closely with his father, suggests
that Rupert Murdoch has chosen who will succeed him at the helm of the
influential media group behind _The Times_ and _Wall Street Journal
_newspapers and 20th Century Fox.
Mr Murdoch's planned takeover of daughter Elisabeth Murdoch's Shine Group has
led to some speculation in recent weeks that Ms Murdoch could be a potential
successor.
News Corp said that Mr Murdoch's new role will see him "collaborating with
senior leaders to develop and execute strategies and plans that strengthen and
further evolve businesses, extend brands, and build new franchises".
