Based in Australia, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation Limited has diversified media holdings in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Latin America and Asia. As of September 30, 2000, its assets totaled $38 billion and total annual revenues approximate $14 billion. In 2003, the company is seeking to acquire DirectTV, a U.S. satellite tv company. During the media industry's 2001-2002 slump, News Corp. wasn't as battered as others, partly because it avoided pursuing Internet companies during the 1990s bubble. [Note: The following breakdown reflects interests and assets as of early 2001.]
