Dear Ms. White I am a founding partner of Wigdor LLP, a New York City based employment litigation firm. Over the course of the last twelve months, our firm has had the privilege of representing 19 current and former employees of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (“21st Century Fox,”) and Fox News Network LLC (“Fox News”) (together with 21st Century Fox, “Fox” or “the Company”) in connection with their claims of gender and/or race discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. I understand that Ofcom is currently reviewing and investigating 21st Century Fox’s potential takeover of Sky PLC and determining whether such transaction would meet the “Public Interest Test,” which includes corporate governance under the rubric of Broadcasting Standards. While I am a New York lawyer, I am also qualified to practice in Her Majesty’s Courts of England & Wales and received my Master’s Degree from Oxford University in 1995 (St Cross College). Given my background and representation of clients against 21st Century Fox, I believe I am uniquely qualified to offer facts that Deadline.commay be relevant for your consideration in connection with Section 3(3) of the Broadcasting Act. Once you have had an opportunity to consider this correspondence, I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss more fully these issues and answer any queries you may have.

In developing our list, we eliminated anyone who currently holds elected office, as well as the Judiciary. This precludes some people, Assemblyman/Democratic State Chairman Joe Cryan, for example. We also eliminated the living former Governors, United States Senators, and, of course, Bill Gormley: we believe this particular group remains highly influential and well-respected. This is an Insiders List. We looked at policy makers, party leaders, fundraisers, lobbyists, labor unions, businesses, and associations and have assembled the ultimate list of New Jerseyans with clout, with an impact on politics and government in the Garden State. We selected names based on a fairly unscientific curve: we allocated spaces on this list for a dozen different categories within the New Jersey political community -- so #11 on the list of important fundraisers or donors doesn’t make the list, but the most influential congressional staffer does.

  • The Powerful of New Jersey
    The Powerful WOMEN of New Jersey SENATOR WEINBERG’S 2018 WOMEN POWER LIST MAKE OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE! A Message From Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg Many of the powerful women of New Jersey are well known. Others are not. They are the cabinet members who run the large and complex bureaucracies that make up our state government. They are the union leaders who advocate for our workers. They are behind-the-scenes schedulers, office managers, and Chiefs of Staff for some of New Jersey’s leaders. They are the lobbyists and influencers who articulate the many policies of New Jersey’s businesses and non-profits. They are business leaders, healthcare leaders, fundraisers, and political leaders. But most important, they are advocates for all of us. As this list grows each year, let’s all celebrate their influence and their increasing stature. The “powerful women” of New Jersey make our state a better place. Loretta Weinberg Loretta Weinberg Senate Majority Leader “Here’s to all the grass roots women who led, organized, pushed to achieve the sea change we saw in our state in this election. From South Jersey Progressive Women north to the TeaneckWomen Together; to all the Indivisibles and the various #s For Change to the High School students who organized, here’s a great big THANK YOU for giving us a more hopeful future.” 1 THE POWERFUL WOMEN OF NEW JERSEY ADELE H.
