Sept 16 (Reuters) - Media mogul Rupert Murdoch arrived

Monday morning at a Reno courthouse, where a battle over control

of Murdoch's global television and publishing empire will play

out in a closed hearing.

Murdoch, 93, is attempting to change the terms of the

family's trust -- which holds significant stakes in Fox News

parent Fox and Wall Street Journal owner News Corp ( NWSA )

. The billionaire is looking to ensure that upon his

death, the media companies remain under the control of his

eldest son, Lachlan Murdoch.

Lachlan and siblings Prudence, Elisabeth and James are also

in Reno for the hearing.
