In Scotland, where the Conservatives had suffered a complete annihilation in 1997, the paper began to endorse the Scottish National Party (though not yet its flagship policy of independence), which soon after came to form the first-ever outright majority in the proportionally elected Scottish Parliament. However, assessing the combined reach of these sources is not straightforward, as the available data typically offers only partial glimpses of the media landscape generally adopting different measures for print, broadcast and digital media, and often treating online and offline audiences separately. According to figures for the year to December 2020, News Corp's seven major papers were read 2.0 million to 2.9 million times on any given weekday, depending on the dataset used.

How much influence does the Murdoch media have in Australia? Its subscriber base began to pull ahead of Channel 7 and Channel 9 from mid-2020, and by March 2021 Sky had overtaken ABC News. The major reason for this decline is the migration of news consumption to the internet, where news.com.au and other News Corp sites face stronger competition from ninemsn, Yahoo!7, Fairfax Media, the ABC, and other sites such as The Conversation, Crikey, On Line Opinion and Guardian Australia. Wilding says in areas where News Corp owns the only major print newspaper, there is an ability to shape opinion. Murdoch's company, News Limited, sold off HSV-7 to Fairfax soon afterwards, for $320 million. The data provides a fuller picture of the audiences of traditional mastheads, though it does not include data for digital-only titles such as Nine's The Brisbane Times. The Canberra University survey results show that Australians in 2020 were far more likely to get their news from free-to-air broadcasters such as ABC, Channel 7 or Channel 9 than from Sky. In Australia, during 1987, he bought The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd., the company that his father had once managed. And, according to one survey, the number of people who got their news from Sky was roughly a third that of either Channel Seven or Channel Nine. That study was based on data from 2012, before News Corp owned a range of regional newspapers it acquired from APN News & Media but, given News Corp has now stopped printing a number of these publications, it's unlikely there is much change in how much print readership News Corp controls. In 2020, the University of Canberra's News & Media Research Centre reported that just 25 per cent of news consumers got their news from a newspaper.

This figure (for pay TV households) cannot be compared directly to ABC News's national audience (all households), but it suggests Mr Murdoch's influence over the airwaves is far smaller than its most direct competitor. [137][138][139] Murdoch also served on the board of directors of the libertarian Cato Institute. But while right-leaning politicians have often aligned with News Corp on policy, there is a fairly long list of left-leaning politicians in the English-speaking world who have attempted to curry favour with Rupert Murdoch to further their leadership ambitions. Davis later backed out of a deal with Murdoch to purchase John Kluge's Metromedia television stations. Anna Murdoch received a settlement of US$1.2billion in assets.
