Question: What Texas newspaper was once owned by Rupert Murdoch?
Answer: The San Antonio Express-News. In 1973, Murdoch purchased the San Antonio Express and its sister company, the San Antonio Evening News, for $19 million. He merged the two publications in 1984. In 1993, he sold the Express-News for $185 million to Hearst, publisher of the rival San Antonio Light, which ceased publication after the sale. Rupert’s purchase of the two San Antonio papers was his first foray into the American media market.
