Rupert speaks!

The Hollywood Reporter sits down for a long interview with Rupert Murdoch about his new-media strategy. Among the topics is his $580 million purchase of Intermix Media, parent company of MySpace.com:

THR: How did it come to your attention to buy [Intermix]?
Murdoch: I think it was Ross Levinsohn, who runs Fox Interactive Media, who first brought it to my attention. We looked at it, and we got so excited so quickly about it because we had decided eight months ago that we’ve just got to have a bigger presence in that area (the Internet), and we need to figure out how to do it.
