Have a question about Rupert Murdoch for David Folkenflik?

David Folkenflik, the media reporter for NPR, is coming to town to promote his new book on Rupert Murdoch and News Corp.: "Murdoch’s World: The Last of the Old Media Empires." I will be querying Folkenflik in a conversation for Zócalo Public Square on Monday night at The Actor's Gang in Culver City. Do you have something you want to ask the author? Phone hacking, Fox News, Obama, the LA Times, heck even the Dodgers — there are a lot of Murdochian topics on the table. Come to the event and take your chances or shoot me an email. Zócalo is taking reservations here. It's free.

Here's the official blurb.

At age 82, Rupert Murdoch stands without rival as the greatest media tycoon in the world. He’s controlled film studios, newspapers, magazines, TV stations, and networks that serve people on five continents. He created a new form of journalism—quicker, livelier, and frequently meaner—that’s been copied and derided by newspapers and broadcasters on both sides of the Atlantic. And he’s changed our media landscape by challenging the cartels that long ran the television industry: His latest move, the creation of Fox Sports 1, will challenge ESPN’s global hegemony. But the future of Murdoch’s empire, and even the man’s legacy, is uncertain. Will News Corp. and Twenty-First Century Fox survive after he gives up control or dies? And, will the brand of journalism his companies pioneered have real staying power? NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik, author of Murdoch’s World: The Last of the Old Media Empires, visits Zócalo to discuss how Rupert Murdoch changed journalism, and what will happen to the media world after he’s gone.

Here is Folkenflik holding his own on "The Colbert Report" the other night.
