James Murdoch is moving from London to New York to become deputy chief operating officer of News Corporation.

He will report to Chase Carey, who is number two at the media conglomerate run by his father, Rupert.

Murdoch Jr will also become chairman and chief executive of News Corp's international businesses, retaining his responsibilities for Europe and Asia.

The move confirms that the youngest of Rupert Murdoch's three children from his second marriage is being lined up as an eventual replacement for the News Corp founder, who is the company's chairman and chief executive.
