Peter Chernin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Chernin (born May 29, 1951 in Harrison, New York) is President and Chief Operating Officer of News Corporation, and Chairman and CEO of the Fox Group.

Widely considered one of the most powerful media executives in the world, Chernin has been credited in particular with the success of Fox's cable operations. Prior to joining Fox, Chernin was president and COO of Lorimar Film Entertainment. His other executive roles include positions at Showtime/The Movie Channel, Warner Books and St. Martin's Press.

Chernin earned a B.A. in English literature from the University of California, Berkeley. As one news media profile put it, "he is as famously liberal as his boss (Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corporation) is conservative."
