You missed Newscorpsa international side, Sky, BskyB, Skynews, Star TV. Also socres of newspapers and websites all over the world.
Having wworked for Newscorp freelance for TV and it’s newschannel outlets, here’s what I’ve found - They pay well - very well - on time and take good cre of the people who work for them even the freelance rent-a-journo’s like myself.
Also - don’t think that the various outlets catering to various niche markets are alike.
Each ‘brand’ is independant from the next.
