Key areas of activity include news and information, where the company publishes national and regional newspapers and operates business information services; book publishing through a well-known global publisher; and property-related digital businesses that operate online marketplaces for real estate listings. These businesses are delivered across print, digital and subscription platforms, and are designed to serve both consumer audiences and professional customers such as advertisers, real estate professionals and business readers.

News Corp has a long corporate history and in 2013 underwent a well-publicized restructuring that separated its entertainment assets from its publishing and information businesses, resulting in the modern News Corp focused on publishing and information services.

Leadership at News Corp includes Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch and Chief Executive Officer Robert Thomson, who oversee the company’s strategy and operations across its diversified media and information portfolio.
