The Company reported record revenues and profits, generated a record amount of cash flow from operations, achieved a swift turnaround at its Italian satellite platform and completed a host of strategic initiatives that we believe position us for sustained growth for years to come. Indeed, fiscal 2005 was our third consecutive year of double-digit revenue and operating income growth. Our Filmed Entertainment, Cable Network Programming, Newspapers, Book Publishing, Magazines and Inserts segments all posted record profits. At the same time, with our $2.4 billion increase in cash, we significantly strengthened our balance sheet, giving us enhanced financial flexibility to meet the challenges ahead. We’ve achieved all this in an environment that is changing faster than ever. For the consumer, technological change represents progress: more and better choices, greater functionality, easier use. For corporations, however, change can sometimes have the opposite effect: disrupted business plans, outdated products, missed budgets. But these moving parts also lead to great, if uncertain, opportunities. Fortunately, change plays to News Corp.’s strengths. When I’m asked how we’ve been able to grow so strongly during a time when our peers have not, I often note how change complements our corporate culture. We’ve always been a company that’s resisted the status quo, that’s charted its own course in the face of conventional wisdom. Whether in creating a fourth network or a third cable news channel, a regional sports network or a compact version of a venerable broadsheet, we’ve always followed our instincts, often to the dismay of our competitors but ultimately to the benefit of consumers and shareholders. Our management is trained to focus not only on strengthening existing operations but, as importantly, on pursuing new growth opportunities for the future. These initiatives at times involve investing new capital and a short-term reduction to our earnings growth. > 4 < 1 News Corp AR 05 layout #79979 9/14/05 2:29 PM Page 5 As a result of our longer-term focus and capital allocation, News Corporation today boasts among the best mix of assets in the business, and a corporate structure that enables us to get the most out of those assets. We produce award-winning. critically acclaimed and popular content. We have also invested in the world’s largest distribution platform and the only one that is truly global in scope. Most importantly, we’ve learned how to integrate our content and distribution assets into a seamless whole that allows us to get the most out of each individual asset – an attribute that further distinguishes us from our peers. Our diverse businesses encompass all forms of modern media: from print to broadcast to cable to satellite to film to home entertainment to the Internet. We generate revenue around the world, with more than 40 percent coming from outside the U.S. And those revenues are diversified by a broad base of sources. This past fiscal year, News Corporation’s net income exceeded $2.1 billion, a 39 percent increase over the prior year with combined earnings per share of $0.69, up 28 percent. The Company’s balance sheet is also stronger than ever before, with $6.5 billion in cash and a strong debt-to-equity position. As a result of our strong financial position, we increased our dividends for the fiscal year for both Class A and Class B Common Stock, to $0.12 and $0.10, respectively. In addition, we announced a $3 billion stock buyback in June 2005, and by the end of August had already purchased 34 million shares for approximately $585 million. Sustained financial growth was not the only measure of our success in fiscal 2005, however. Strategically, we also excelled. We completed our reincorporation in the U.S., moving our primary listing to the New York Stock Exchange. This has already resulted in the Company’s inclusion in several major U.S. equity indices, including the S&P 500, and a significant reduction in the discount of the non-voting to voting shares. We continue to believe that this change in domicile will help the Company attain greater value for our shareholders longer term. With News Corporation’s domicile change, there was no further need to maintain the Fox Entertainment Group as a separate corporate entity. Consequently, earlier this year we completed a successful exchange offer for all outstanding shares of Fox stock. In so doing, we simplified our corporate reporting, eliminated a duplicative U.S. listing and achieved some minimal cost savings from redundant operations. This year also saw us acquire the 58 percent controlling interest in Queensland Press Pty Ltd that the Company did not already own.

  • Media Ownership Chart
    In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called "alarmist" for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly . In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote "in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media" -- controlling almost all of America's newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market. More than 1 in 4 Internet users in the U.S. now log in with AOL Time-Warner, the world's largest media corporation. In 2004, Bagdikian's revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly , shows that only 5 huge corporations -- Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch's News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) -- now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric's NBC is a close sixth.

  • Challenging ESPN: How Fox Sports Can Play in ESPN's Arena
    Challenging ESPN: How Fox Sports can play in ESPN’s Arena Kristopher M. Gundersen May 1, 2014 Professor Richard Linowes – Kogod School of Business University Honors Spring 2014 Gundersen 1 Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship ESPN has with the sports broadcasting industry. The study focuses on future prospects for the industry in relation to ESPN and its most prominent rival Fox Sports. It introduces significant players in the market aside from ESPN and Fox Sports and goes on to analyze the current industry conditions in the United States and abroad. To explore the future conditions for the market, the main method used was a SWOT analysis juxtaposing ESPN and Fox Sports. Ultimately, the study found that ESPN is primed to maintain its monopoly on the market for many years to come but Fox Sports is positioned well to compete with the industry behemoth down the road. In order to position itself alongside ESPN as a sports broadcasting power, Fox Sports needs to adjust its time horizon, improve its bids for broadcast rights, focus on the personalities of its shows, and partner with current popular athletes. Additionally, because Fox Sports has such a strong regional persona and presence outside of sports, it should leverage the relationship it has with those viewers to power its national network. Gundersen 2 Introduction The world of sports is a fast-paced and exciting one that attracts fanatics from all over. They are attracted to specific sports as a whole, teams within a sport, and traditions that go along with each sport.

    Rock Over the Edge: Transformations in Popular Music Culture, Roger Beebe, Denise Fulbrook, Ben Saunders, Duke University Press, 2002, 0822383373, 9780822383376, 392 pages. DIVThis collection brings new voices and new perspectives to the study of popularвЂ―and particularly rockвЂ―music. Focusing on a variety of artists and music forms, Rock Over the Edge asks what happens to rock criticism when rock is no longer a coherent concept. To work toward an answer, contributors investigate previously neglected genres and styles, such as “lo fi,” alternative country, and “rock en espaГ±ol,” while offering a fresh look at such familiar figures as Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Kurt Cobain.Bridging the disciplines of musicology and cultural studies, the collection has two primary goals: to seek out a language for talking about music culture and to look at the relationship of music to culture in general. The editors’ introduction provides a backward glance at recent rock criticism and also looks to the future of the rapidly expanding discipline of popular music studies. Taking seriously the implications of critical theory for the study of non-literary aesthetic endeavors, the volume also addresses such issues as the affective power of popular music and the psychic construction of fandom.Rock Over the Edge will appeal to scholars and students in popular music studies and American Studies as well as general readers interested in popular music.Contributors. Ian Balfour, Roger Beebe, Michael Coyle, Robert Fink, Denise Fulbrook, Tony Grajeda, Lawrence Grossberg, Trent Hill, Josh Kun, Jason Middleton, Lisa Ann Parks, Ben Saunders, John J.
