From this morning's WSJ:

James Murdoch, the younger son of Rupert Murdoch, has resigned from News NWS -1.24% Corp’s board of directors, a move that marks his full departure from the family’s businesses.

“My resignation is due to disagreements over certain editorial content published by the company’s news outlets and certain other strategic decisions,” Mr. Murdoch said in his resignation letter, which was published as part of a company filing released Friday.

Mr. Murdoch had once been widely viewed as the top contender to one day run the family businesses, but in recent years he has been disengaging from his roles at the companies. Last year, he left as chief executive of 21st Century Fox after substantial parts of the company’s entertainment unit were sold to Walt Disney Co.

The News Corp board seat was the last formal role he held at companies controlled by his family.

A spokesman for Mr. Murdoch said he had no additional comment beyond his letter.
