Tracing its origins to 1979 under media entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch, News Corporation underwent a major restructuring in 2013, creating two independent, publicly traded companies: 21st Century Fox (later acquired by The Walt Disney Company) and the current News Corp focused on publishing and real estate services. This strategic spin-off sharpened its focus on content creation, distribution, and consumer engagement in an increasingly digital landscape while capitalizing on synergies across its various platforms and brands.
Headquartered in New York City, News Corp extends its reach across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australasia, serving both consumer and professional audiences. Under the leadership of Chairman Rupert Murdoch and Chief Executive Officer Robert Thomson, the company continues to innovate in digital content, expand subscription-based offerings, and reinforce its legacy in journalism and publishing. Its diversified portfolio positions News Corp to adapt to evolving media consumption trends while driving long-term growth and shareholder value.
