Upturn AI SWOT
News Corp B
Company Overview
History and Background
News Corp B was formed in 2013 following the split of News Corporation into News Corp and 21st Century Fox. The original News Corporation was founded by Rupert Murdoch in 1979, though its roots trace back to the 1950s with the acquisition of Australian newspapers. The split aimed to separate the media and entertainment businesses from the publishing assets.
Core Business Areas
- Digital Real Estate Services: Primarily through Move, Inc., operator of Realtor.com, providing online real estate information and services.
- Subscription Video Services: Primarily through Foxtel in Australia, offering pay-TV and streaming services.
- Dow Jones: A global provider of news and business information, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, and MarketWatch.
- Book Publishing: HarperCollins Publishers is one of the largest English-language book publishers.
- News Media: Includes News Corp Australia, News UK, and the New York Post.
Leadership and Structure
Robert Thomson serves as the Chief Executive Officer. The company has a board of directors chaired by Rupert Murdoch. The organizational structure is divisional, with each business segment operating with a degree of autonomy under the overall corporate umbrella.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Realtor.com: A leading online real estate portal in the US. Competes with Zillow and Trulia. While specific overall market share fluctuates, Realtor.com aims to maintain its position as a top 3 player, focusing on accuracy and agent relationships. Revenue is derived from advertising and lead generation.
- The Wall Street Journal: A leading global business and financial newspaper. Competes with the Financial Times and The New York Times. Reported digital subscriptions exceed 3 million. Total subscriptions are roughly 4 million.
- HarperCollins: One of the world's largest English-language publishers. Competes with Penguin Random House and Simon & Schuster. The overall book market is fragmented, with HarperCollins holding a significant, but not dominant, share. Revenue depends on the success of individual titles.
- Foxtel: Leading Australian pay-TV and streaming provider, competes with Stan (Nine Entertainment) and Netflix. Foxtel's market share in Australia is estimated to be around 30%.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The media industry is undergoing rapid transformation due to digitalization. News is increasingly consumed online, challenging traditional print media. Digital real estate services are growing due to increased online property search. Book publishing faces competition from e-books and audiobooks.

Positioning
News Corp B is positioned as a diversified media company with strong brands in news, real estate, and book publishing. Its competitive advantages include established brand recognition, a large subscriber base, and a diverse portfolio of assets. It is adapting to digital trends through online platforms and subscription models.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The global media and entertainment market is estimated to be worth trillions of dollars. Digital Real Estate is worth billions, Book Publishing worth billions, and news media is worth hundreds of billions. News Corp B's TAM, considering its core segments, would be in the hundreds of billions range. Its positioning varies across segments, with strong positions in digital real estate and news, and a more competitive position in book publishing.
