Crikey V Lachlan Murdoch: What does it mean for the Murdochs?

Still catching your breath from Succession this week? If you’re joining us for the first time - welcome! This is the second episode of a two part series we’re releasing on The Dive. Last episode, Sascha spoke with Sarah Ellison - staff writer at The Washington Post - about the case beginning on the 17th April - Fox News v Dominion Voting Systems. 

Closer to home, there’s another defamation case playing out. Lachlan Murdoch personally filed defamation proceedings against Crikey, an online news outlet, in response to an article published on 29th June 2022. Lachlan's lawyers argued it defamed him by naming his family as ‘unindicted co-conspirators’ of former US president Donald Trump.
