London: Rupert Murdoch
has resigned as a director of companies that own the British
newspaper -- The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times, Xinhua
reported citing local media.
Murdoch stepped down from the boards of the News International
Group, Times Newspaper Holdings and News Corp Investments in
Britain last week, reported the Daily Telegraph citing companies
House filings.
He also quit a number of News Corp's US boards, but the details of
which have not been disclosed.
News Corp played down the significance of the resignations as
"nothing more than a corporate housecleaning exercise prior to the
company split".
The plan was announced June 28, which would see News Corp split
into two firms, separating its newspaper and book publishing
interests from its now dominant TV and film enterprises.
Murdoch is expected to chair both businesses but to be chief
executive only of the TV and film side.
