Crikey’s proprietor Eric Beecher, is a rare combination of journalist, media owner and idealist.

“A media mongrel”, he says his friends call him, at 33 he became the youngest-ever editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, but was wooed away by the most consequential press mogul’s of the modern age, Rupert Murdoch.

But as he tells Tina Quinn, it was a short-lived tryst.

He joins Fourth Estate this week to talk about the dangers of moguls, why press manipulation goes back much further than the Murdoch dynasty, and the future of serious, quality journalism.
