SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements". All statements, other than statements of
historical fact, included in this prospectus that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may
occur in the future, or that include the words "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "plans,"
"intends," "anticipates," "continues," "forecasts," "designed," "goal," or the negative of those words or other comparable words are
intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These statements appear in a number of places in this prospectus and documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus
and are based on certain assumptions and analyses made in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current
conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. These
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about News Corporation and its subsidiaries and
businesses, including the risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere, and are
not guarantees of performance. Other important factors that could affect the future results of News Corporation and cause those results
or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include:

·
worldwide economic and business conditions;

·
rapidly changing technology challenging News Corporation's businesses' ability to adapt successfully;

·
exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

·
significant changes in News Corporation's assumptions about customer acceptance, overall market penetration and

competition from providers of alternative products and services;

·
unexpected challenges created by legislative and regulatory developments;

·
changes in News Corporation's business strategy and development plans; and

·
other risks described from time to time in periodic reports that News Corporation files with the Securities and Exchange

Commission (the "Commission").
Because the above factors could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-
looking statement made by News Corporation, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. Further, any
forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and it should not be assumed that the statements made
herein remain accurate as of any future date. News Corporation undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-
looking statement or update or revise the reasons that actual results or outcomes could materially differ from those anticipated in each
forward-looking statement, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the other documents filed by News
Corporation with the Commission.
THE EXCHANGE OFFER IS NOT BEING MADE TO, NOR WILL NEWS AMERICA INCORPORATED ACCEPT
SURRENDERS OF ORIGINAL NOTES FOR EXCHANGE FROM, HOLDERS IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE
EXCHANGE OFFER OR THE ACCEPTANCE THEREOF WOULD NOT BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES
OR BLUE SKY LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.

The Exchange Offer
On September 14, 2012, we completed the offering of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.00% Senior Notes
due 2022. The offering was made in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). As part of the offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial
purchasers of the original notes in which we agreed, among other things, to deliver this prospectus and to complete an exchange
offer for the original notes. Below is a summary of the exchange offer.

Securities offered
Up to $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of exchange 3.00% Senior
Notes due 2022 which have been registered under the Securities Act. The form
and terms of these exchange notes are identical in all material respects to those
of the original notes. The exchange notes, however, will not contain transfer
restrictions and registration rights applicable to the original notes.

The exchange offer
We are offering to exchange $1,000 principal amount of our exchange 3.00%
Senior Notes due 2022 which have been registered under the Securities Act, for
each $1,000 principal amount of our outstanding original 3.00% Senior Notes
due 2022.

In order to be exchanged, an original note must be properly tendered and
accepted. All original notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn will be

exchanged. As of the date of this prospectus, there is $1,000,000,000 principal
amount of 3.00% original notes outstanding. We will issue exchange notes
promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Resales
We are registering the exchange offer in reliance on the position enunciated by
the Commission in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC No-Action Letter
(April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co, Inc., SEC No-Action Letter (June 5,
1991), and Shearman & Sterling, SEC No-Action Letter (July 2, 1993). Based
on interpretations by the Staff of the Commission, as detailed in a series of
no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the exchange notes
issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise
transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act as long as:

·

you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your

business;

·

you are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no

arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in a
distribution of the exchange notes; and

·

you are not our affiliate.

Rule 405 under the Securities Act defines "affiliate" as a person that, directly or

indirectly, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, a
specified person. In the absence of an exemption, you

must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act in connection with the resale of the exchange notes. If you fail to

comply with these requirements, you may incur liabilities under the Securities
Act and we will not indemnify you for such liabilities.

Each broker or dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in
exchange for original notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or
other trading activities must acknowledge that it will comply with the
registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in

connection with any offer to resell, resale, or other transfer of the exchange
notes issued in the exchange offer and that it has not entered into any
arrangement or understanding with the Company or News Corporation or an
affiliate of the Company or News Corporation to distribute the exchange notes.

Expiration date
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 7, 2013, unless we extend the
expiration date.

Withdrawal rights
You may withdraw tenders of the original notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the expiration date. For more information, see the
section entitled "The Exchange Offer" under the heading "Terms of the Exchange
Offer."

Conditions to the exchange offer
The exchange offer is subject to certain customary conditions, which we may
waive in our sole discretion. For more information, see the section entitled "The

exchange offer is not conditioned upon the exchange of any minimum principal
amount of original notes.

exchange offer, you must do so pursuant to DTC's automated tender offer
program. By executing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you

Table of Contents
If you are a beneficial owner whose original notes are registered in the name of
a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you
wish to tender in the exchange offer, we urge you to promptly contact the person
or entity in whose name your original notes are registered and instruct that
person or entity to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender in the exchange

offer on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter
of transmittal and delivering your original notes, either make appropriate
arrangements to register ownership of your original notes in your name or obtain
a properly completed bond power from the person or entity in whose name your
original notes are registered. The transfer of registered ownership may take
considerable time.

Guaranteed delivery procedures
If you wish to tender your original notes and your original notes are not
immediately available or you cannot deliver your original notes, the letter of
transmittal or any other documents required to the exchange agent (or comply
with the procedures for book-entry transfer) prior to the expiration date, you
must tender your original notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures
set forth in the section entitled "The Exchange Offer" under the heading
"Guaranteed Delivery Procedures."

Taxation
The exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will generally not be a taxable
event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For more details, see the sections
entitled "The Exchange Offer--Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer" and
"Description of the Notes--Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer."

Consequences of failure to exchange
If you do not exchange the original notes, they will remain entitled to all the
rights and preferences and will continue to be subject to the limitations
contained in the indenture. However, following the exchange offer, all
outstanding original notes will still be subject to the same restrictions on
transfer, and we will have no obligation to register outstanding original notes
under the Securities Act.

Use of proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. For more details, see
the "Use of Proceeds" section.

Exchange agent
The Bank of New York Mellon is serving as the exchange agent in connection
with the exchange offer. The address, telephone number and facsimile number of

Table of Contents
Absence of public market for the notes
The notes will constitute a new class of securities for which there is no
established public trading market. There has been no public market for the
original notes, and it is not currently anticipated that an active public market for
the exchange notes will develop. We currently do not intend to apply for the
listing of the notes on any securities exchange or to seek approval for quotation
through any automated quotation system. Although the initial purchasers have
informed us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes, they are not
obligated to do so and any such market-making activity may be discontinued at
any time without notice. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the
development or liquidity of any market for the notes. See "Plan of Distribution."

Risk Factors
You should read the section entitled "Risk Factors" for important information
regarding the exchange notes and us.

RISK FACTORS
Before you participate in the exchange offer, you should be aware that there are various risks, including the ones listed below.
You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus, in evaluating your participation in the exchange offer.
Risk Factor Relating to the Notes and Guarantees
Structural Risks. The operations of News Corporation worldwide and the operations of News America in the United States are
conducted through subsidiaries, and, therefore, News Corporation and News America are dependent upon the earnings and cash
flows of their subsidiaries to meet debt service obligations, including obligations with respect to the notes. The claims of holders of
the notes will be subordinate to claims of creditors of the subsidiaries of the Guarantor (other than News America) with respect to the
assets of such subsidiaries in the event of bankruptcy or reorganization of such subsidiaries.
Risk Factor Relating to the Exchange Offer
If you do not exchange your original notes for exchange notes, you will continue to have restrictions on your ability to resell
them, which could reduce their value. The original notes were not registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of
any state and may not be resold, offered for resale, or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently registered or resold pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. If you do not exchange
your original notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will not be able to resell, offer to resell, or otherwise
transfer the original notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or unless you resell them, offer to resell them or
otherwise transfer them under an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.
