Murdoch tops Guardian media power list again

Rupert Murdoch returns to the top of the Guardian's Media 100 list, with James Murdoch, Trevor Kavanagh and Michael Grade rising while Greg Dyke falls out.

The Guardian has printed the latest edition of its Media 100 list - the 100 people it reckons of the most powerful players in the UK media. And this year there has been quite a lot of movement in the list - with last year's top man, Greg Dyke, out of the running following his fall as BBC Director General, ITV boss Charles Allen sliding down the poll as he tackles increasingly heavy handed investors, and Piers Morgan no longer so powerful having lost his editorship of the Mirror.

On the up are Rupert Murdoch, who is back at the top of the poll; his son James who enters the poll since arriving in the UK to run Sky TV; Sun politics man Trevor Kavanagh who, they say, will become very powerful as the next General Election approaches; and new BBC chairman Michael Grade who, the Guardian reckon, is going to be more influential than new BBC DG Mark Thompson.

Full list is in today's Media Guardian, lots on it at http://www.mediaguardian.co.uk
