The Company is listed in the NASDAQ and Australian Securities Exchange.

The company is owned by Australian Born Rupert Murdoch and his family. Richard Searby once lamented that the Corporation’s board normally meets to ratify Rupert Murdoch’s decisions rather than to make decisions as is with other companies’ boards. He uses anyone of his vast business interests to support his personal views or the Corporation’s commercial or political influence. (Cheng & Mohamed, 2010) There have been instances whereby Rupert Murdoch has traded his TV news channels’ and newspapers’ editorial bias in order to gain some political favors. Murdoch has been supporting the US republican part since 2009. This was demonstrated by him donating US$1m for the party’s midterm election campaigns. ( Duthel,2011) The company has also been accused of flouting UK law in order to gain a monopoly in the British Newspaper and TV markets.

New Corporation is arguably one of the world’s biggest media companies having total assets of almost US$53bn and annual revenue of US$33bn in 2010. Its total assets tend to exceed the GDP of most of the countries in the African Continent. The Company also owns both content providers and distribution networks in the film and television industries. The conglomerate is made up of about 800 companies globally with several holding companies that are mostly based in offshore tax-havens. (Stewart, 2013)
