News Corporation (NWSA) is a media and information services company that creates and distributes content and related services for consumers and businesses across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australasia, and other international markets. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in New York, NY, and has been publicly traded since its 2013 listing on NASDAQ.
News Corp operates through five reporting segments: Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate Services, Book Publishing, News Media, and Other. The Dow Jones segment includes flagship financial brands such as The Wall Street Journal, Barrons, MarketWatch, Investors Business Daily, and Factiva, distributed via websites, mobile apps, newspapers, newswires, newsletters, databases, video, and podcasts. News Corp shares a common market positioning with peers in the publishing and digital media space, competing against companies such as The New York Times Company and News Media organizations in the GICS Publishing sub-industry.
The Digital Real Estate Services segment operates leading property portals in Australia, including realestate.com.au, realcommercial.com.au, and Flatmates.com.au, alongside U.S.-based Realtor.com and related tools, mortgage broking, and property data services aimed at the financial sector. This segment benefits from a digital classifieds business model that is highly dependent on real estate transaction volumes and advertising cycles in its core markets.
The Book Publishing segment publishes consumer titles under imprints such as Harper, William Morrow, Marover, Avon, Harlequin, Zondervan, and Thomas Nelson, covering fiction, nonfiction, childrens, and religious titles in print and digital formats. Book publishing represents a long-cycle, rights-based business where backlist titles and royalty arrangements typically provide a stable revenue base through retail and library channels.
The News Media segment includes Australian mastheads such as The Australian, Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, The Courier Mail, and The Advertiser, as well as talkSPORT, a sports radio network in the United Kingdom. Print newspapers in this segment have faced structural pressure from digital substitution, prompting a broader industry shift toward digital subscriptions, data licensing, and integrated advertising offerings.
