On our radar:
Rupert Murdoch is on the verge of yet another business move, wanting to combine the two halves of his media empire: the TV side - Fox Corp - with the online news business - News Corp. Producer Meenakshi Ravi explores how the merger is much more an exercise in succession planning than a business deal in itself.

Daniel Turi reports on the coverage of labour issues in the British media.
