Business Description
News Corporation is one of the world's largest media conglomerates, with a presence in multiple countries and a diverse portfolio of businesses. The company was founded by Rupert Murdoch in 1980 and is currently headquartered in New York City.
The company's primary business is in news and publishing, with well-known brands such as The Wall Street Journal, The Times (UK), and The Sun (UK). It also operates book publishing and educational materials divisions, including HarperCollins Publishers and Amplify Education.
News Corporation also has a significant presence in the entertainment industry, operating through subsidiaries such as 20th Century Fox and Fox Television. Its film and television production studios have produced some of the most successful franchises in recent years, including Avatar, X-Men, and The Simpsons.
In addition to its media ventures, News Corporation has also invested in various technology companies, such as Roku and True[X] Media, and has a stake in the National Geographic Channel.
The company has been the subject of numerous controversies over the years, such as the 2011 phone hacking scandal involving the now-defunct News of the World tabloid, which led to the closure of the publication and a wave of legal and public relations troubles for the company.
In 2013, News Corporation underwent a major restructuring, splitting into two separate publicly traded companies - News Corp, which focuses on news and publishing, and 21st Century Fox, which encompasses the company's entertainment businesses.
