Bloggers buzz over Murdoch as ‘Bible mogul’
The scandal involving Rupert Mur doch's British tabloid empire brought scrutiny to, of all places, western Michigan and the Zondervan publishing company.
Among the major holdings in Murdoch's News Corporation is publisher HarperCollins, which owns Zonder van, the Christian publishing giant known for prominent Christian authors and best-selling editions of the New International Version Bible.
Murdoch's Bible connections set the blogosphere abuzz. The Zondervan connection to the still-unfolding scandal was first pointed out by Will Braun, former editor of Geez magazine, on his Holy Moly blog, where he described the 80-year-old Murdoch as a "Bible mogul."
