It was formed on June 28, 2013, following a [[Corporate spin-off|spin-off]] of the media outlets of the [[News Corporation (1980–2013)|original News Corporation]] as [[21st Century Fox]] (21CF). Operating across digital real estate information, news media, book publishing, and cable television, News Corp's notable assets include [[Dow Jones & Company]] (publisher of ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]''), [[News UK]] (publisher of ''[[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]]'' and ''[[The Times]]''), [[News Corp Australia]], [[REA Group]] (operator of realestate.com.au), [[Realtor.com]], and book publisher [[HarperCollins]].

It is one of two companies that succeeded the original News Corp., alongside 21st Century Fox—which consisted of broadcasting and media properties such as [[Fox Entertainment Group]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=James |first=Meg |date=June 28, 2013 |title=News Corp. divides into two companies; 21st Century Fox is born |work=Los Angeles Times |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun/28/entertainment/la-et-ct-news-corp-21st-century-fox-20130628 |access-date=December 14, 2018 |issn=0458-3035 |archive-date=March 10, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180310010528/http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun/28/entertainment/la-et-ct-news-corp-21st-century-fox-20130628 |url-status=live }}</ref> The spin-out was structured so that 21CF was the legal continuation of the original News Corp., with the new News Corp being a new company formed by a [[stock split]].
