Murdoch given keys to Adelaide
Media magnate Rupert Murdoch has been given the keys to Adelaide at a civic reception at Town Hall this evening.
Mr Murdoch's media organisation, News Corporation, was founded in Adelaide when he took control of the Adelaide News in 1954.
The company's annual meeting will be held in the city tomorrow when shareholders are expected to approve its re-incorporation in the United States.
In receiving the key to the city, Mr Murdoch expressed his fondness for Adelaide.
"In his will, my father hoped that I would have the great opportunity of spending a useful, altruistic and full life in newspaper and broadcasting activities and it was Adelaide that made my father's dream come true," he said.
