News Corporation (ASX:NWS), (NASDAQ:NWSA) president and chief operating officer Chase Carey has backed director James Murdoch despite a protest vote against him.
35 per cent of voting stock voted against the re-election of James Murdoch, a backlash in response to the UK phone hacking scandal.
Mr Carey says Mr Murdoch has done a good job and News isn’t contemplating any changes.
The junior Murdoch will make another appearance before a UK parliamentary inquiry on November 10.
News Corp booked a net profit of just under $2.7 billion in the year to June 30.
