  • News Corp.'s total revenue declined by $100 million year-over-year.
  • However, realtor.com was once more mentioned as a very successful News Corp. product, with revenues increasing 35 percent year-over-year.
  • Enhanced listings for Realtors and more integrated collaboration with other News Corp. products were named as future opportunities for the company.

It feels like an understatement to say that News Corp. Chief Executive Officer Robert Thomson is bullish on the future of realtor.com. News Corp. is the parent corporation of such companies as Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal — and Move, Inc., which operates the real estate portal realtor.com. And the portal is clearly one of the jewels in News Corp.’s fiscal crown.
