Description

News Corp is an American multinational media holding. Founded in 2013 as a result of reorganization and separation from the News Corporation media holding. The largest assets of the corporation are Dow Jones & Company (The Wall Street Journal), News UK, New York Post and HarperCollins.

Belongs to the Murdoch family.

History

Media holding News Corporation was founded in 1979. In 2012, its founder and owner, Rupert Murdoch, decided to split the media holding into two independent companies. The legacy company was succeeded by 21st Century Fox, which included the 20th Century Fox film company, the Fox Networks Group and a number of other television companies, while the newspaper and publishing business was taken over by a new company called News Corp. Rupert Murdoch became chairman and chief executive officer of both News Corp and 21st Century Fox, and his sons James and Lankan took board seats in the new structures. On June 1, 2013, News Corp's shares were listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. One of the main reasons for the division was the so-called "News International Case" on illegal methods of obtaining information (wiretapping, etc.), as a result of which one of the most popular British tabloids, News of the World, was closed.
