Although Murdoch remains chairman of both, everyone expects him to focus more on the news business. That portfolio includes both customer-pleasing tabloids with a troubled history of pandering, spying, and bribing, and the venerable journalism of the Wall Street Journal’s news pages – a contradiction that splitting the parent has not resolved.
尽管默多克身兼这两个集团的董事长，但所有人都预料他会更专注于新闻业务。上述业务包括曾以刺探收买等低俗手段迎合读者的小报和受人尊敬的《华尔街日报》新闻版——分拆母公司并没有解决这其中的冲突。
