However, newspaper circulation in general including among subsidiaries of News International fell sharply in the United Kingdom during the early 21st century, leading some commentators to suggest that Rupert Murdoch was not as influential in British political debate by the early 2020s as he had once been. This figure (for pay TV households) cannot be compared directly to ABC News's national audience (all households), but it suggests Mr Murdoch's influence over the airwaves is far smaller than its most direct competitor. [178] While Murdoch would often attend Mass with Torv, he never converted to Catholicism. Derek Wilding, a professor at the University of Technology Sydneys Centre for Media Transition, says it is difficult to work out just how much reach News Corp or any media company has because of the way the industry measures audiences.
