In late June 2012, media mogul Rupert Murdoch announced a plan to split the publishing and media assets of his News Corporation into separate companies. In April 2013, he announced that the media company would be called 21st Century Fox, after movie studio [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]], while the print unit would retain the News Corporation name, although it would do business as News Corp. On May 9, 2013, Murdoch unveiled the new logo. On June 28, the split was made complete. On December 14, 2017, The Walt Disney Company announced its intent to acquire 21st Century Fox's filmed assets. The deal was approved on July 27, 2018, with the acquisition completed on March 20, 2019; the rest of the Fox assets (namely Fox's broadcast and cable stations aside from [[FX Networks|FX]], among others) were spun off into a new company called Fox Corporation. | In late June 2012, media mogul Rupert Murdoch announced a plan to split the publishing and media assets of his News Corporation into separate companies.
