Description: NWSA News January 03, 2026

News Corp (NASDAQ: NWSA) is a diversified media and information services firm that creates and distributes content across five segments-Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones, Book Publishing, News Media, and Other. Its portfolio spans flagship brands such as The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, MarketWatch, and the New York Post, as well as a suite of newspapers in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, plus digital mastheads, podcasts, and a social-media content agency (Storyful). The company monetizes through subscriptions, advertising, data products, and real-estate services, operating globally from the U.S. and Europe to Australasia.

In its most recent quarter (Q4 2023), News Corp reported revenue of roughly $2.5 billion, with digital real-estate services posting a 12 % year-over-year increase, reflecting continued demand for online property listings. Subscription revenue across Dow Jones and its consumer brands grew about 8 % YoY, offsetting modest declines in print advertising as ad spend contracts in a higher-interest-rate environment. A key sector driver remains the shift toward paid digital content, which is expected to lift average revenue per user (ARPU) as consumers prioritize reliable, ad-free news sources.
