News Corporation (NASDAQ: NWS) is a media and information services company that creates and distributes content across newspapers, websites, mobile apps, podcasts, video, and other channels. It operates through five segments: Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones, Book Publishing, News Media, and Other, with marquee brands including The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, Barrons, Investors Business Daily, Factiva, and the New York Post. The company also publishes a broad portfolio of regional and national newspapers (such as The Australian, The Times, and the Herald Sun), general and childrens books, and operates Storyful, a social media content agency, alongside sports radio and news channels. Its operations span the United States, Canada, Europe, Australasia, and other international markets, and it is headquartered in New York.
News Corp is classified within the GICS Communication Services sector, specifically the Publishing sub-industry, reflecting its hybrid business model that combines traditional publishing (newspapers and books) with digital subscription data products and real estate listing services. The company was incorporated in 2012 and traces its current public form to the 2013 separation of 21st Century Foxs publishing assets from its entertainment businesses.
