Since 1981, ''The Times'' and associated titles have been owned by [[News Corporation]], a giant global mainstream media conglomerate owned by [[Rupert Murdoch]], who owns newspapers and television stations around the world, including ''The Sun'' (UK), Sky TV (UK), Fox TV (USA), Fox News (USA) and Fox Movie Studios (USA). This sale (according to a prominent journalist at the time on the paper, Robert Fisk) occurred after a strike which convinced the previous owner to sell. Fisk afterward left the paper for liberal newspaper The Independent, citing Murdoch (probably his bias) as a cause. In 1986 the newspaper editorial and production facilities were moved from central London (near [[Fleet Street]]) to a new site at [[Wapping]] in east London, where modernised plant and working methods were to be employed. This prompted a year-long strike by printworkers, accompanied by picket-line violence, but production of the newspaper was never completely interrupted.
