De naam News Corporation is afgeleid van de Australische krant News uit Adelaide. Toen Murdoch's vader, Sir Keith Murdoch, overleed was deze krant het belangrijkste deel uit de erfenis die Murdoch ontving. Het bedrijf werd pas in 1980 geregistreerd onder die naam. De meeste bezittingen van Rupert Murdoch werden destijds onder dit nieuw gevormde bedrijf gepositioneerd. In 1990 werd het bedrijf failliet verklaard, maar gered door huisbankier Citibank. Citibank gelastte Murdoch om verschillende onderdelen te verkopen om de schulden van het bedrijf drastisch te verlagen.

News International, the arm of News Corporation in the United Kingdom, looked to offer top executives and editors a mobile solution that combined voice, data, and e-mail on a single device. The media giant considered a BlackBerry solution from Research In Motion, but decided against it because of concerns about cost, administration expense, and flexibility. With an existing investment in Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003, communication and collaboration server, News International opted for mobile devices, powered initially by Microsoft Windows Mobile® 2003 and now upgraded to Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0. The solution provides users with direct push e-mail, giving them access to messages anytime, anywhere. News International is now rolling out the devices to other employees—including journalists—and continuing to cut communications costs.

The News Corporation is often identified with its head, Rupert Murdoch, whose family controls some 30 percent of its stock. Murdoch's goal is for News Corporation to own multiple forms of programming--news, sports, films and children's shows--and beam them via satellite or TV stations to homes in the United States, Europe, Asia and South America. Viacom CEO Sumner Redstone says of Murdoch that "he basically wants to conquer the world."
