Australia to Play Big Role in News Corp.'s Publishing SpinOff
Posted: 10/18/2012 | By: John Jannarone | Wall Street Journal
In splitting News Corp. into two companies, Rupert Murdoch is creating something he hasn't had in years: an Australian media company.
By some measures, the publishing company to emerge from the division
of News Corp. sometime next year will have its roots heavily Down Under.
Not only do the majority of the newspaper profits come out of that
country, the new company gets News Corp.'s interests in Australian and
New Zealand television.
