One company will house entertainment businesses like 20th Century Fox, Fox broadcast network and Fox News Channel while another houses the publishing assets, which include The Wall Street Journal and the Times of London along with HarperCollins book publishing and News Corp.'s education business.

分拆出来的一家公司将从事娱乐业务，包括20世纪福克斯电影公司(20th Century Fox)、福克斯(Fox)广播公司和福克斯资讯频道(Fox News Channel)，另外一家公司将控制出版资产，包括《华尔街日报》、《泰晤士报》(Times of London)、HarperCollins图书出版业务和资讯集团旗下的教育业务。

News Corp. shares have jumped 11% since the media conglomerate confirmed it was contemplating splitting in two on Tuesday morning, as investors applauded the idea of the company's less profitable newspaper assets being carved off.

由于投资者对资讯集团剥离盈利状况较差的报纸资产的想法表示欢迎，自该媒体集团周二早间证实正在考虑将公司一分为二以来，该公司股价已上涨了11%。

Publishing generates much lower profit margins than the company's TV and film operations, and faces stiff competition from online news outlets. Industrywide newspaper advertising has fallen about 50% in the past five years, estimates the Newspaper Association of America. While the Journal has added subscribers, and has protected its content behind a paywall, the new standalone publishing company will confront deep challenges.
