Dramatic family rupture over a global media business has taken place against the calm backdrop of this very tiny community because to state law that permits some legal actions to be handled more swiftly and quietly than they can be elsewhere in the US.
After the 93-year-old father passes away, Rupert Murdoch and his family traveled from all over the world to decide how to divide the empire among his children.
The media magnate and his family were driven to the Washoe County Courthouse by a convoy of seven black SUVs, which the city witnessed over a period of six days.
The battle for succession was heard in private and ended on Monday.
When a decision will be made has not been indicated by the court. This will not be available to the general public when it does arrive.
While his four children waited inside the courthouse until dusk, the elder Murdoch typically left after noon, all four of them keeping their mouths shut as they did so.
Regardless of the case’s verdict, it will have profound effects that go far beyond the family drama and will influence the course of the most powerful conservative media organization in the world.
Hundreds of newspapers and media outlets worldwide are owned by News Corp.
The empire includes widely read publications like The Sun in the UK and right-leaning Fox News in the US, which provided Donald Trump with a significant platform prior to the 2016 election.
