CEO Rupert Murdoch has been a consistent voice of pessimism, and he forecast an ugly economy before his big-media peers did. And now he\u2019s more upbeat than his fellow media CEOs. Here\u2019s his opening salvo:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not an economist\u2026but it is increasingly clear that the worst is over\u2026.As you know, I have been uncharacteristically pessimistic in recent calls, though I would argue that it was a well-founded concern. But there are emerging signs in some of our businesses that the days of precipitous decline are done and that revenues are beginning to look healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only is this a turnaround, it\u2019s a turnaround from just a month ago, when Murdoch professed to be full of bearish sentiment at the cable industry\u2019s annual show.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>So what changed? Advertisers have started spending money again, he says: \u201cEverybody was in shock by the economy and all business was falling of a cliff in the last 3 months of last year.

Don\u2019t get me wrong, he says. \u201cBut at the very least we seem to have hit the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is some nuance to this: When asked by an analyst why that optimism has prompted him to reinvest in his company, via stock buyback, Murdoch hedged: \u201cI want a little more evidence that the worst is over\u2026there is a real feeling that we\u2019ve hit bottom and there is something turning, but this is early days yet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via Mediamemo For the past year or so, News Corp.
