News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch’s salary, bonus and stock payout in the last fiscal year rose 9% to $27.1 million, but a change in accounting that cut the value of his retirement savings diminished his total compensation 14%, the Wall Street Journal reports.

President Peter Chernin pulled in a total of $29.6 million, the Journal reports.
