IN THE NEWS
Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch assured analysts Fox News will “return to our ratings dominance” once the news environment normalizes post-election. Although the net has experienced a double digit dip in ratings in recent weeks, during Fox’s quarterly earnings call, Murdoch said that there is no plan to change course. “In the journalism business…you work out what your market is and you produce your best product you can possibly produce for that target market,” he said. “The success of Fox News throughout its entire history has been to provide the absolute best news and opinion for a market we believe is firmly center-right. And we don’t pivot or change that.” With strong election advertising in the quarter, Fox Corp. exceeded analysts’ expectations.
In a further indication of its faith in its news strategy, Fox Corp. signed Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media, to a new multi-year contract. “Suzanne’s track record of success, innovative sprit and dedication to excellence make her the ideal person to continue to lead and grow Fox News,” said Murdoch.
As for the $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit from voting tech company Smartmatic, Fox News filed a motion for dismissal, arguing that the First Amendment allows the news media to host a forum for interviewing Trump’s lawyers, even if those guests offer outrageous allegations. “Interviewing lawyers advocating for the President is fully protected First Amendment activity, whether those lawyers can eventually substantiate their claims or not,” reads the motion. “If those surrogates fabricated evidence or told lies with actual malice, then a defamation action may lie against them, but not against the media that covered their allegations and allowed them to try to substantiate them.”
Not surprisingly, the most-watched part of the Super Bowl was the halftime show, according to second by second analysis of tune in behavior conducted by Alphonso.

Cointreau’s ad scored the highest tune-in; other brands whose timing maximized tune-in with at least 75% of the overall game audience include Anheuser-Busch, Cadillac, Huggies, Oatly, Uber Eats, and YouTube.

Top social platforms’ adherence to media responsibility has improved significantly, according to IPG Mediabrands’ latest Media Responsibility Index. Across nearly all 10 Media Responsibility Principles, platforms delivered an average lift of 11%, with the largest increases in the agency network’s Promote Respect and Accountability principles, as well as many platforms improving their efforts to reduce Hate Speech and Misinformation/Disinformation. “We created the Media Responsibility Index with the belief that social platforms would welcome our Index as a helpful tool, rather than being perceived as another ranking. This current Index shows that the platforms heard our call to action and moved swiftly to work together to be better and contribute to a more positive future for advertising and our world,” said Elijah Harris, Global Head of Social, Mediabrands’ agency Reprise.
