Carlucci

I suggest that an article on Paul V. Carlucci is desirable: [1]. (Can't do it myself this week, too much going on at work...) Nomoskedasticity (talk) 11:54, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I agree, or even a section in this page would work well.Meatsgains (talk) 01:18, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Here is something related from NYT November 2, 2011 News Corp. Lawyer Noted Hacking 'Culture' in 2008

...although the BBC remains the world's largest broadcaster.

Is that really relevant enough to be mentioned in the second sentence of this article? Also, "World's largest broadcaster" is a somewhat vague phrase, that seems poorly sourced. All three references simply state "the BBC is the world's largest broadcaster" without anything to back it up or explain what that means. It appears the statement refers to the fact that the BBC is has more employees than any other broadcaster. If it should remain, I suggest we change it to "although the BBC has more employees than any other broadcaster" and find a proper source for that. Väsk (talk) 07:38, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Headquartered in Charlie's House?

WikiProject Australia?

why this is included in the "WikiProject Australia"? I know the company was founded in Australia, but since 2005 is in the U.S., and is now under the laws of America, not Australia greetings — Preceding unsigned comment added by MervinVillarreal (talk • contribs) 18:07, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I believe they still have a large presence in Australia. Trivialist (talk) 01:51, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

when it was in Australia 186.95.9.247 (talk) 15:53, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

now the company don't have headquarters in Australia, and the wikiproject: australia is for things from Australia MervinVillarreal (talk) 15:57, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

News Corporation is from Australia, even if it's no longer headquartered there. The company was founded there, a significant portion of its history is there, so there are reasonable ties to Australia to keep it in the project. —C.Fred (talk) 16:01, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

exactly, was from Australia WikiProject Australia; "is a WikiProject dedicated to coverage of Improving Wikipedia's topics related to Australia."

"Our goals To Provide guidelines and recommendations for articles That describes all aspects of Australia...."

"Project Scope

The project Generally considers any article related to Australia to be a valid topic ... "

The Wikiproject: Australia, is based on things that pertain to australia, things of australia, News Corporation is now america has nothing to do with Australia. MervinVillarreal (talk) 17:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

It was founded by an Aussie and has its early origins there. To say it has nothing to do with Australia is an outright lie. GRAPPLE X 20:10, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

the Wikiproject AUSTRALIA is about from things OF australia, you know? things of ... not about things that was in australia.MervinVillarreal (talk) 05:23, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

As per WP:PROJGUIDE#OWN: A WikiProject's members have the exclusive right to define the scope of their project, which includes defining an article as being outside the scope of the project. Similarly, if a WikiProject says that an article is within their scope, then you may not force them to remove the banner. No editor may prohibit a group of editors from showing their interest in an article. Betty Logan (talk) 09:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Myspace.com

Why Isn't News Corporations acquisition of Myspace covered in this article. It is more that relevant and necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.9.129.73 (talk) 12:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

A new water heater installed? qualifies as a development?

'...On 26 April 2012, A PureCell fuel cell system at the News Corporation headquarters in New York City now provides hot water and a significant portion of electricity needs for TV studios, while reducing the building’s carbon emissions....' . This entry under 'developments since 2000' is pretty silly to mention. If someone else agrees please remove it.

Amplify

News Corp has launched an education focused tablet under division Amplify Education, which I am guessing belongs under the proposed Fox Group. Would appreciate help developing the article about this new product, and also integrating this into this article about the parent org, with relation to how this fits into the proposed split of News Corp. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 23:07, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

The Split

I'm planning on seeing this handled like how Wikipedia handled the Viacom/CBS Corporation split. Both of the resulting companies have their own articles; despite being a legal successor to News Corp., 21st Century Fox has its own page just because its pretty much a "new" company, and it would be cleaner to just treat it as such.

After the split is final and the dust settles, this article will most likely be re-named "News Corporation (1979-2013)" or something to that effect, and News Corporation (2013) would be moved in to take its place. We'd need a new navbox for 21st Century Fox, but the current News Corp. navbox can easily be edited to reflect the post-split holdings.

Any questions? ViperSnake151 Talk 19:50, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Zondervan and the NIV

AFAICT Zondervan is a subsidiary of HarperCollins, this isn't made clear in the /wiki/News_Corporation#Final_holdings section. Also I feel it would be worth noting that Zondervan, hence News Corp, own the copyright to the NIV - which appears to be the most used English translation of The Bible. Pbhj (talk) 00:06, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Duplication?

This company, i.e. News Corporation was the holding co. for News Limited (a.k.a. News Corp Australia). It appears that there is substantial duplication of content between that article and this one, and probably inconsistencies too. I would suggest that News Corp (Aust) be redirected to a section on that subject in this article and the contents reconciled, but I have neither the authority or the time to do this. Chrismorey (talk) 09:13, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

I added Al-Waleed bin Talal

Another major stakeholder has been Al-Waleed bin Talal, of the Saudi Royal Family. I have added the evidence to the page. DeistCosmos (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Ansett, Australia

Why is the article in the Category:Ansett Australia? I can see that Ansett was owned for a time by News Corp but I would have thought the category relationship was the other way around? Kerry (talk) 07:44, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

You are right it doesn't quite belong in this day in age. I shall remove the category. Sinbad Barron (talk) 11:49, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

lead

The current lead could see some overhaul, it doesn't even clearly state Murdoch as CEO and founder. Instead it gives Aznar as a board member.--Kmhkmh (talk) 05:36, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Introduced by Australian Story presenter Leigh Sales ABC News ( Australia. Founded, June 1932 )

In a three-part Australian Story special, journalist Paddy Manning examines Lachlan Murdoch, one of the media industry’s most enigmatic and least understood characters. He asks who is Lachlan Murdoch? And how has he been shaped by the family legacy, the years at his father’s side and those spent estranged from the media empire? Episode one, Blood, explores the origins of the Murdoch media empire and the lessons learned by Lachlan as he watched his father’s voracious global expansion. It also exposes the roots of the rivalry between Lachlan, his older sister Elisabeth and younger brother James.
