Sept 8 (Reuters) -

The Murdoch family reached a deal that will see Rupert

Murdoch's politically conservative son Lachlan Murdoch cement

control of the family media empire which includes Fox News and

which will receive cash from the sale of about 16.9 million

shares of Fox Class B stock and about 14.2 million shares of

News Corp's ( NWSA ) Class B common stock. The amount of the payment was

not disclosed.
