Murdoch will be able to speak about how his organization has supported emerging talent at IGNITION 2016, Business Insider's flagship conference.

"Supporting storytellers is what we do, and aspire to do, every day in our company - so to be able to support new storytellers at the Ghetto Film School just feels right," Murdoch said.

Supporting GFS is a wonderful way for 21st Century Fox to act as a responsible corporate citizen - not to mention cultivate new voices and talent. That's why we're so excited to hear what Murdoch has to say at this year's IGNITION conference.

Other IGNITION speakers include Thrive Global's Arianna Huffington, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, and Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner.

IGNITION will take place from December 5-7 at the Time Warner Center in New York City.
