News Corp struck a global news deal with Alphabet Inc's Google, the Rupert Murdoch-controlled media company said on Wednesday, in one of the most extensive deals of its kind with big tech.
The companies will develop a subscription platform, share advertising revenue through Google's ad technology services, build out audio journalism and develop video journalism by YouTube. The deal comes after years of public feuding between Murdoch and Google, most recently in Australia, where Google has threatened to shut down its search engine to avoid "unworkable" content laws.
It is a capstone for the 89-year-old media mogul, his son Lachlan and News Corp Chief Executive Robert Thomson to seek compensation for premium content from platforms. Murdoch previously secured payments from Apple Inc and Facebook Inc for their Apple News and Facebook News products.
The company declined to comment on financial details of the deal, which it said involved "significant payments" by Google.

It ain’t run by Rupert any more. It’s now run by his two cuckolded spawn...
Remember when politicians of both parties railed against the dangers of monopolies?
We will get all of our news from Google & Facebook, while we all work for Amazon and have to piss in bottles without breaks.
Yep!
“My future is so bright, I gotta wear my shades.”
It’s all fun and games, until they cut off your account for doing something the SJW there don’t like.
Newsmax reporting on News Corp aligning with Google/Alphabet. Oy.
Ping!
Time to dig out the old James Bond movie scripts and look for hints on dealing with the corporate evil doers. /#sadness
Communist Thought Police Have Joined The Communist Purge & Nothing Is Being Done About Any Of It!
I don't do social media but wanted to sign up with YouTube (i.e. Google) to join and chat in a hobby forum I follow. Before it would let me do that, it wanted a phone number to verify my identity. However, I discontinued my landline several years ago as my employer provides my cell phone to be on call and lets me use for personal calls. I'm unwilling to give it to Google though they say they will respect my privacy and won't sell it. Heck, I get enough spam calls as it is, and don't trust them at all.
It will help Google collect information it doesn’t yet have from conservatives that have starved Google in other ways.
Well, that puts cherry on top. If FNC hadn’t gone over to the dark side, they’re surely gone now. OANN keeps looking better and better.
Left-wing organizations will always stay left-wing. They never become right-wing.
On the other hand, O’Sullivan’s law states that, “All organizations that are not actually right-wing will become left-wing.”
It was only a matter of time until FOX became CNN.
This is why they don’t care about tanking their tv ratings very much, eh? They’re getting a slice of the pie that is growing, rather than the pie that is shrinking.
Our Brother in law works in Australia.
He says Mordoch News of ANY platform has been Far Left Wing well before Rupert stepped back into the shadows.
NewsCorp is the CCP Socialist Central for South east Asia and beyond, as they are Global.
It is like the MSN here but on Steroids.

A paper that's not exactly a bastion of conservatism, AFAIK.
