In 2013, News Corp split into two separate companies: News Corp and 21st Century Fox. News Corp focused on its publishing and digital media businesses, while 21st Century Fox focused on its film and television production businesses. In 2019, The Walt Disney Company acquired 21st Century Fox, and News Corp became an independent company once again.

News Corp is led by Robert Thomson, who has been the company's CEO since 2013. Under his leadership, the company has focused on expanding its digital presence, investing in new technologies, and improving its editorial content.

Some of the key challenges facing News Corp include:

  1. The decline of print media: The rise of digital media has led to a decline in print newspaper circulation and advertising revenue.
  2. Competition from online news sources: The proliferation of online news sources has increased competition for News Corp's print and digital news offerings.
  3. The need to adapt to changing consumer habits: News Corp must adapt to changing consumer habits and preferences, including the increasing use of mobile devices and social media.
  4. The need to invest in new technologies: News Corp must invest in new technologies, including artificial intelligence and data analytics, to improve its editorial content and digital offerings.

Despite these challenges, News Corp remains a significant player in the global media landscape, with a strong portfolio of brands and a commitment to delivering high-quality news and information to its audiences.
