- Sunday, February 3, 4:04 AM As with the NYT, Bloomberg and WSJ (NWS), the Washington Post (WPO) has reportedly been the victim of hacking from China, which has been targeting the newspaper for four years. Twitter has also experienced a recent cyber-attack, with intruders stealing information from up to 250,000 accounts. Away from the online warfare, the Post is considering selling its HQ and relocating to a more efficient building. 2 Comments [Consumer, Tech]
- Friday, February 1, 7:22 PM News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) is reportedly close to selling its IGN online media unit to J2 Global's (JCOM) Ziff-Davis publishing arm. In addition to popular gaming site IGN.com, the unit owns AskMen.com and GameSpy.com. The sale price is said to be "considerably lower" than the $650M News Corp. paid for IGN in '05. IGN's gaming sites complement Ziff-Davis' arsenal of tech news sites. J2 bought Ziff-Davis for $167M in November. Comment! [Consumer, M&A, Tech]
- Friday, February 1, 6:04 PM Ahead of its planned breakup, News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) has made a couple of executive appointments for its publishing ops. William Lewis, a member of the Management and Standards committee that dealt with the fallout of the phone hacking scandal, has been named chief creative officer - he'll be in charge of product launches and acquisitions. Anoushka Healy, managing editor of The Times and Sunday Times of London, has been named chief strategy officer. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, January 28, 7:16 AM Morgan Stanley upgrades News Corp. (NWS, NWSA) to an Overweight rating and names it a Best Idea pick. The firm thinks superior growth is on tap following a spinoff of the media giant's publishing arm and likes the improved visibility on capital allocation. Comment! [Consumer]

- Wednesday, January 9, 5:52 PM InterActiveCorp-backed (IACI) Aereo has received a fresh $38M in funding - some of it from IAC - to expand its innovative broadcast TV streaming service to 22 new markets by spring, including Chicago, Dallas, Philly, and Houston. Aereo's $12/month NYC service has already driven local broadcasters up the wall and into the courtroom - they see it as a threat to the carriage fees they've begun charging pay-TV providers. (AP review) Comment! [Tech, Consumer]
- Friday, January 4, 4:30 PM It finally happened: Well-respected Hulu (DIS, CMCSA, NWS) CEO Jason Kilar says he's leaving in Q1, and that CTO Rich Tom is joining him. Hobbled by the licensing and distribution restrictions placed by media industry owners generally terrified of upsetting their pay-TV industry clients, money-losing Hulu's total monthly viewers have been surpassed by Netflix's paid subscriber base. Kilar's departure could have something to do with a reported request for a fresh $200M in funding. (also) 1 Comment [Consumer, Tech]
- Friday, December 28, 2012, 11:56 AM News Corp (NWSA -0.2%) acquires SportsTime Ohio, a regional sports network based in Cleveland. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but the price tag is estimated to be about $230M. The deal is part of an effort by the company to ramp up efforts to control the rights to key sports teams in response to Time Warner Cable's $3B deal in 2011 to carry the Los Angeles Lakers basketball games on its SportsNet Channel. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 6:31 AM Amazon (AMZN) has chalked up another victory in the global book wars after the EU accepted an offer from Apple (AAPL) and four publishers to ease price-cutting restrictions in exchange for ending an antitrust investigation. The publishers include CBS's (CBS) Simon & Schuster and News Corp. (NWS) unit HarperCollins. Interestingly, Apple didn't accept a similar deal in the U.S. and is going to trial. 4 Comments [Tech, Consumer]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 1:06 PM Tribune Company looks for a banker to help it find a buyer for some of its newspaper properties, including Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times, after the company emerges from bankruptcy in a few weeks. Sources indicate News Corp (NWS, NWSA) has already expressed an interest. Another interesting Tribune asset to watch will be CareerBuilder.com, a website which still ranks in the top 150 in the U.S. by traffic (Quantcast chart). 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 9:08 AM News Corp. (NWS) confirms the appointment of WSJ Editor-in-Chief Robert Thomson as the CEO of its publishing operations. Thomson will start the job on Jan. 1. The publishing company will retain the News Corp. name, while the media & entertainment business will be called Fox Group. News Corp. indicates that its breakup will still occur in June next year. That appears to be contrary to a report that the split will be concluded at the end of this month. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, Breaking News, Top Stories]
- Monday, December 3, 2012, 2:42 AM News Corp. (NWS) has reportedly advanced its break-up into two companies to the end of this month in order to limit the damage from the U.K. phone-hacking scandal to the publishing arm of the firm. In June, Rupert Murdoch said the unit's split from the film and TV business would take 12 months. The speculation comes along with reports that WSJ managing editor Robert Thomson will become CEO of the publishing ops, while News International CEO Tom Mockridge is leaving. Comment! [Consumer]
- Sunday, December 2, 2012, 8:24 PM Rupert Murdoch loses another top executive as Tom Mockridge resigns as CEO of News Corp's (NWS) U.K. newspaper arm. A 22-year veteran of the company, Mockridge was brought on as chief of News International in July 2011. "His decision to step down is absolutely and entirely his own," says Murdoch. (PR) Comment!
- Saturday, December 1, 2012, 3:34 PM News Corp. (NWS) will tap Robert Thomson - now editor in chief of Dow Jones, and managing editor of The Wall Street Journal - as the CEO of its new publishing company, Reuters reports.

- Monday, November 26, 2012, 5:24 AM Sales of cinema tickets over the five-day Thanksgiving period starting on Wednesday hit a record $290M.
