News Corporation (officially referred to and trading as News Corp) is an American mass media and publishing company, formed as a spin-off of the original News Corporation (as founded by Rupert Murdoch in 1980) focusing on newspapers and publishing. It is one of two companies which succeeded the former News Corporation, alongside 21st Century Fox—which consisted of the old News Corporation’s broadcasting and media properties, such as Fox Entertainment Group.[2] The spin-out was structured so that 21st Century Fox would be the legal successor and continuation of the old News Corporation, with the new News Corp being an entirely new company formed by a stock split. Following the acquisition of the most of 21st Century Fox assets by The Walt Disney Company on March 20, 2019,[3] Fox Corporation, which is the News Corp’s sister company and the successor of former 21st Century Fox that focused on American broadcasting, news and sports businesses, is also owned and controlled by the Murdoch family. Its notable assets include Dow Jones & Company (publisher of The Wall Street Journal), News UK (publisher of The Sun and The Times), News Corp Australia, Realtor.com as well as book publisher HarperCollins.
