David Dimbleby profiles Rupert Murdoch, the Australian newspaper owner who has recently entered the British newspaper market, first with his acquisition of the Sunday News of the World, and lately with his purchase of the falling broadsheet, The Sun. Murdoch's plan is to relaunch The Sun as a daily tabloid, to rival The Mirror.
