SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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

2

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                     , 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” under the heading “Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” The exchange offer is not conditioned upon the exchange of any minimum principal amount of original notes.

Procedures for tendering original notes If you wish to accept the exchange offer, you must (1) complete, sign and date the accompanying letter of transmittal, or a facsimile copy of such letter, in accordance with its instructions and the instructions in this prospectus, and (2) mail or otherwise deliver the executed letter of transmittal, together with the original notes and any other required documentation to the exchange agent at the address set forth in the letter of transmittal. If you are a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you hold original notes through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and wish to accept the 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 will represent to us, among other things, (1) that you are, or the person or entity receiving the exchange notes is, acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of business, (2) that neither you nor any such other person or entity has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act and (3) that neither you nor any such other person or entity is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

3

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 the exchange agent are listed under the section entitled “The Exchange Offer” under the heading “Exchange Agent.”

The Notes

Issuer News America Incorporated.

Guarantor News Corporation is a guarantor (the “Guarantor”) of the original notes and the exchange notes. If we cannot make payments on the original notes or the exchange notes when they are due, the Guarantor must make them instead.

Securities offered US$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.00% Senior Notes due 2022.

Maturity September 15, 2022.

Interest payment dates March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 2013.

Redemption The notes may not be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity, except as set forth herein. See “Description of the Notes—Redemption by the Company.”

Ranking The notes will be direct unsecured obligations and will constitute indebtedness (as defined herein) ranking pari passu with all other unsecured indebtedness which is not by its terms subordinated to the notes. The guarantee constitutes indebtedness of the Guarantor, and is intended to rank pari passu with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantor, which is not by its terms subordinated to the guarantee. See “Description of the Notes.”

Change of control If we experience a change of control triggering event as described in the section entitled “Description of the Notes—Repurchase upon change of control triggering event,” we must offer to repurchase the notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

Certain covenants The indenture, among other things, limits our ability to incur liens and requires our subsidiaries to issue guarantees under certain circumstances. The indenture also restricts our ability and the ability of News Corporation to sell all or substantially all of our or its assets or to merge with or into other companies. For more details, see “Description of the Notes—Successor corporation” and “Description of the Notes—Certain covenants.”

Governing Law The notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

5

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.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES OF NEWS CORPORATION

The following table sets forth the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated:

Three months ended September 30, 2012	Fiscal Year Ended June 30,
	2012		2011		2010		2009			2008
8.3		2.6		4.3		3.6		*	*		7.5

** Earnings did not cover fixed charges by $4.9 billion during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 due to non-cash impairment charges of $8.9 billion ($7.2 billion net of tax) consisting of a write-down of News Corporation’s indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily FCC licenses in the Television segment) of $4.6 billion, a write-down of $4.1 billion of goodwill and a write-down of the Publishing segment’s fixed assets of $185 million.

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.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

The exchange offer is designed to provide holders of original notes with an opportunity to acquire exchange notes (the “Exchange Notes”) which, unlike the original notes, will not be restricted securities and will be freely transferable at all times, subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed by state “blue sky” laws and provided that the holder is not our affiliate within the meaning of the Securities Act and represents that the Exchange Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of the holder’s business and the holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes. Capitalized terms used herein and otherwise not defined are defined in the indenture dated as of August 25, 2009, as amended and restated on February 16, 2011 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, News Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee.

The outstanding original 3.00% Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of US$1,000,000,000 were originally issued and sold on September 14, 2012 (the “Issue Date”), to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as initial purchasers, pursuant to the purchase agreement dated as of September 11, 2012. The original notes were issued and sold in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The concurrent resale of the original notes by the initial purchaser to investors was also done in reliance upon the exemption provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The original notes are restricted securities and may not be reoffered, resold or transferred other than pursuant to a registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act or unless an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available. Pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, the original notes may generally be resold (a) commencing six months after the Issue Date, in an amount up to, for any three-month period, the greater of 1% of the original notes then outstanding or the average weekly trading volume of the original notes during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the required notice of sale with the Commission so long as News Corporation remains current in its periodic filing obligations and (b) commencing one year after the Issue Date, in any amount and otherwise without restriction by a holder who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months, our affiliate. Certain other exemptions may also be available under other provisions of the federal securities laws for the resale of the original notes.

In connection with the original issuance and sale of the original notes, we entered into the registration rights agreement, dated as of September 14, 2012 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to file with the Commission a registration statement covering the exchange by us of the Exchange Notes for the original notes (the “Exchange Offer”). The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will file with the Commission an exchange offer registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act, with respect to an offer to exchange the original notes for the Exchange Notes and to offer to holders of original notes who are able to make certain representations the opportunity to exchange their original notes for Exchange Notes.

The Registration Rights Agreement provides that (i) unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or the policies of the Commission (“SEC Policy”), we will file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with the Commission on or prior to 90 days after the Issue Date, (ii) unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or SEC Policy, we will use our reasonable best efforts to have the Exchange Offer Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 180 days after the Issue Date, (iii) unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or SEC Policy, we will commence the Exchange Offer and use our reasonable best efforts to issue, on or prior to 225 days after the Issue Date, Exchange Notes, in exchange for all original notes tendered prior thereto in the Exchange Offer and (iv) if obligated to file a shelf registration statement, we will use our reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement prior to the later of (a) 90 days after the Issue Date or (b) 30 days after such filing obligation arises (provided, however, that if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 180^th day after the Issue Date, then the Company will file the shelf registration

8

statement with the Commission on or prior to the 210^th day after the Issue Date, unless the Company has consummated the Exchange Offer prior to the 180^th day after the Issue Date whereby the Company’s obligations to file a shelf registration statement pursuant to clause (iv) above shall be cancelled). We shall use our reasonable best efforts to keep such shelf registration statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended for a period of six months from the Issue Date or such shorter period that will terminate when all notes covered by the shelf registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto. A holder of original notes that sells its original notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally will be required to be named as a selling securityholder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement that are applicable to such holder (including certain indemnification and contribution obligations).

Under existing interpretations by the Staff of the Commission, the Exchange Notes, in general, would not be restricted securities and would be freely transferable after the Exchange Offer without further registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in the case of broker-dealers participating in the Exchange Offer, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act must be delivered by such broker-dealers in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes. We have agreed for a period of 90 days after consummation of the Exchange Offer, to make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Notes acquired in the Exchange Offer. A broker-dealer that delivers such a prospectus to purchasers in connection with such resales will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).

Each holder of original notes that wishes to exchange such original notes for Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer will be required to make certain representations, including representations that (i) any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of Exchange Notes and (iii) it is not our affiliate as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

If the holder is not a broker-dealer, it will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of Exchange Notes. If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for original notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.

We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer and will indemnify each initial purchaser against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we will be required to pay additional interest if a registration default exists. A registration default will exist if:

• we fail to file any of the registration statements required by the Registration Rights Agreement on or before the date specified for such filing;

• any of the registration statements is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness, referred to in the Registration Rights Agreement as the Effectiveness Target Date;

• the Exchange Offer is required to be consummated under the Registration Rights Agreement and we fail to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for all original notes properly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offer within 45 days of the Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement; or

9

• the shelf registration statement or the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with the Exchange Offer or resales of the Exchange Notes, as the case may be, during the periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Additional interest will accrue on the principal amount of the notes (in addition to the stated interest on the notes) from and including the date on which any of the registration defaults described above has occurred and continue until all registration defaults have been cured. Additional interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of a registration default and will increase by 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) while a registration default is continuing, up to a maximum rate of additional interest of 1.00% per annum.

This summary of certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is listed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all original notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Subject to the minimum denomination requirements of the Exchange Notes, the Exchange Notes are being offered in exchange for a like principal amount of original notes. Original notes may be exchanged only in integral multiples of US$1,000 principal amount. Holders may tender some or all of their original notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

The form and terms of the Exchange Notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the original notes except that (i) the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof and (ii) holders of the Exchange Notes will not be entitled to certain rights of holders of original notes under the Registration Rights Agreement. The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the original notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture. Each series of Exchange Notes will be treated as a single class under the Indenture with any original notes of that series that remain outstanding. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of original notes being tendered for exchange.

As of                     , US$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of original 3.00% Senior Notes were outstanding. This prospectus, the letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery are being sent to all registered holders of original notes as of                     . Tendering holders will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of original notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain transfer taxes that may be imposed, in connection with the Exchange Offer. See “—Payment of Expenses.”

Holders of original notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware in connection with the Exchange Offer.

Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination

The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                      (21 business days following the date notice of the Exchange Offer was mailed to the holders). We reserve the right to extend the Exchange Offer at our discretion, in which event the term expiration date shall mean the time and date on which the Exchange Offer as so extended shall expire. We shall notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice and shall notify the registered holders of original notes via a press release prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

10

We reserve the right to extend or terminate the Exchange Offer and not accept for exchange any original notes if any of the events set forth below under the caption “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” occur and are not waived by us, by giving oral or written notice of such delay or termination to the exchange agent. See “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” The rights reserved by us in this paragraph are in addition to our rights set forth below under the caption “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

Procedures for Tendering

The tender to us of original notes by a holder pursuant to one of the procedures set forth below and the acceptance thereof by us will constitute an agreement between such holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the letter of transmittal.

Except as set forth below, a holder who wishes to tender original notes for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer must transmit an agent’s message or a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, including all other documents required by such letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent at the address set forth below under “Exchange Agent” on or prior to the expiration date. In addition, either (i) certificates for such original notes must be received by the exchange agent along with the letter of transmittal, (ii) a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer (a book-entry confirmation) of such original notes, if such procedure is available, into the exchange agent’s account at DTC pursuant to the procedure of book-entry transfer described below, must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, or (iii) the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL AND ORIGINAL NOTES SHOULD NOT BE SENT TO US.

The term “Agent’s Message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to and received by the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgement from the tendering participant, which acknowledgment states that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal and that we may enforce such letter of transmittal against such participant.

Signatures on a letter of transmittal must be guaranteed unless the original notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered (i) by a registered holder of original notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal or (ii) for the account of any firm that is a member of a registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company having an office in the United States, each an eligible institution. In the event that signatures on a letter of transmittal are required to be guaranteed, such guarantee must be by an eligible institution.

The method of delivery of original notes and other documents to the exchange agent is at the election and risk of the holder, but if delivery is by mail it is suggested that the mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the expiration date to permit delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than a registered holder of any original notes tendered therewith, such original notes must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers, in either case signed exactly as the name of the registered holder appears on the original notes.

If the letter of transmittal or any original notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by us, proper evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tendered original notes will be resolved by us, and our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute

11

right to reject any or all tenders that are not in proper form or the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular original notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in the letter of transmittal) will be final and binding. Unless waived, any irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Neither we nor the exchange agent shall be under any duty to give notification of defects in such tenders or shall incur liabilities for failure to give such notification. Tenders of original notes will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any original notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the expiration date.

Our acceptance for exchange of original notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering person and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.

Book-Entry Transfer

The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the original notes at DTC for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s book-entry transfer facility systems may make book-entry delivery of original notes by causing DTC to transfer those original notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer. However, although delivery of original notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, an Agent’s Message or a duly executed letter of transmittal, including all other documents required by such letter of transmittal, must in any case, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at one of the addresses set forth below under the caption “Exchange Agent” on or prior to the expiration date or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC IN ACCORDANCE WITH DTC’S PROCEDURES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

Holders who wish to tender their original notes and (i) whose original notes are not immediately available, or (ii) who cannot deliver their original notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, may effect a tender if:

(a) the tender is made through an eligible institution;

(b) prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from an eligible institution a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, and notice of guaranteed delivery by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery setting forth the name and address of the holder of the original notes, the certificate number or numbers of the original notes and the amount of original notes being tendered, stating that the tender is being made and guaranteeing that, within three NASDAQ Stock Market trading days after the expiration date, the properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof) together with the certificates for all physically tendered original notes, in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and

(c) a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal (or facsimile thereof), as well as the certificates representing all tendered original notes in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, as the case may be, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, are received by the exchange agent within three NASDAQ Stock Market trading days after the expiration date.

12

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Exchange Offer, or any extension of the Exchange Offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any original notes and may terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any original notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any conditions to or amend the Exchange Offer, if any of the following conditions have occurred or exists or have not been satisfied:

• there is threatened, instituted or pending any action or proceeding before, or any statute, rule, regulation, injunction, order or decree issued by, any court or governmental agency or other governmental regulatory or administrative agency or commission:

(1) seeking to restrain or prohibit the making or completion of the Exchange Offer or any other transaction contemplated by the Exchange Offer, or assessing or seeking any damages as a result of this transaction; or

(2) resulting in a material delay in our ability to accept for exchange or exchange some or all of the original notes in the Exchange Offer; or

• any action has been taken, proposed or threatened, by any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, that in our sole judgment might directly or indirectly result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses (1) or (2) above or, in our sole judgment, might result in the holders of Exchange Notes having obligations with respect to resales and transfers of Exchange Notes which are greater than those described in the interpretation of the Commission referred to above, or would otherwise make it inadvisable to proceed with the Exchange Offer; or

• the following has occurred:

(1) any general suspension of or general limitation on prices for, or trading in, securities on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market; or

(2) any limitation by a governmental authority, which may adversely affect our ability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer; or

(3) a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States or any limitation by any governmental agency or authority which adversely affects the extension of credit; or

(4) a commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States, or, in the case of any of the preceding events existing at the time of the commencement of the Exchange Offer, a material acceleration or worsening of these calamities; or

• any change, or any development involving a prospective change, has occurred or been threatened in our business, financial condition, operations or prospects and those of our subsidiaries taken as a whole that is or may be adverse to us, or we have become aware of facts that have or may have an adverse impact on the value of the original notes or the Exchange Notes, which in our sole judgment in any case makes it inadvisable to proceed with the Exchange Offer and/or with such acceptance for exchange or with such exchange; or

• there shall occur a change in the current interpretation by the Staff of the Commission which permits the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for original notes to be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than broker-dealers and any such holder which is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders’ business and such holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes; or

13

• any law, statute, rule or regulation shall have been adopted or enacted which, in our judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with the Exchange Offer; or

• a stop order shall have been issued by the Commission or any state securities authority suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, or proceedings shall have been initiated or, to our knowledge, threatened for that purpose, or any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval we shall, in our sole discretion, deem necessary for the consummation of the Exchange Offer as contemplated hereby; or

• we have received an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that there exists any actual or threatened legal impediment (including a default or prospective default under an agreement, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which we are a party or by which we are bound) to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Offer.

If we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that any of the foregoing events or conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, we may, subject to applicable law, terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any original notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any such condition or otherwise amend the terms of the Exchange Offer in any respect. If such waiver or amendment constitutes a material change to the Exchange Offer, we will promptly disclose such waiver or amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the original notes and will extend the Exchange Offer to the extent required by Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

These conditions are for our sole benefit and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions, or we may waive them, in whole or in part, in our sole discretion. Any determination made by us concerning an event, development or circumstance described or referred to above will be final and binding on all parties.

Acceptance of Original Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, we will accept all original notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue Exchange Notes in exchange for original notes promptly following the expiration date.

Subject to the conditions set forth under the caption “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” issuance of Exchange Notes in exchange for original notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for original notes or a book-entry confirmation of a book-entry transfer of original notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, including an Agent’s Message if the tendering holder does not deliver a letter of transmittal, a completed letter of transmittal, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an Agent’s Message in lieu of the letter of transmittal and any other documents required by such letter of transmittal. Accordingly, the delivery of Exchange Notes might not be made to all tendering holders at the same time, and will depend upon when certificates for original notes, book-entry confirmations with respect to original notes and other required documents are received by the exchange agent.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for exchange, and thereby to have exchanged, original notes validly tendered and not withdrawn as, if and when we give oral or written notice to the exchange agent of our acceptance of such original notes for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer. The exchange agent will act as agent for us for the purpose of receiving tenders of original notes, letters of transmittal and related documents, and as agent for tendering holders for the purpose of receiving original notes, letters of transmittal and related documents and transmitting Exchange Notes which will not be held in global form by DTC or a nominee of DTC to validly tendered holders. Such exchange will be made promptly after the expiration date. If for any reason whatsoever, acceptance for exchange or the exchange

14

of any original notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer is delayed (whether before or after our acceptance for exchange of original notes) or we extend the Exchange Offer or are unable to accept for exchange or exchange any original notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then, without prejudice to our rights set forth herein, the exchange agent may, nevertheless, on our behalf and subject to Rule 14e-l promulgated under the Exchange Act, retain tendered original notes and such original notes may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering holders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described under the caption “—Withdrawal Rights.”

Pursuant to an Agent’s Message or a letter of transmittal, a holder of original notes will represent, warrant and agree in the letter of transmittal that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, sell, assign and transfer original notes, that we will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the tendered original notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances, and the original notes tendered for exchange are not subject to any adverse claims or proxies. The holder also will warrant and agree that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by us or the exchange agent to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, sale, assignment and transfer of the original notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

If any tendered original notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth herein or otherwise, any such unaccepted original notes will be returned, at our expense, to the tendering holder thereof as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

Withdrawal Rights

Tenders of original notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For a withdrawal to be effective, the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at the address, or in the case of eligible institutions, at the facsimile number, set forth below under the caption “—Exchange Agent” before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Any notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person having tendered the original notes to be withdrawn, identify the original notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number or numbers and the principal amount of the original notes), and (where certificates for original notes have been transmitted) specify the name in which such original notes are registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder. If certificates for original notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, the withdrawing holder must also submit the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn and a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution unless such holder is an eligible institution. If original notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn original notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of such facility. All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by us, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any original notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the Exchange Offer. Any original notes which have been tendered for exchange but which are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder (or in the case of original notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described above, such original notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the original notes) as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the Exchange Offer. Properly withdrawn original notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under the caption “—Procedures for Tendering” at any time on or prior to the expiration date.

15

Exchange Agent

We have appointed The Bank of New York Mellon as the exchange agent for the Exchange Offer. You should direct all executed letters of transmittal to the exchange agent at the address indicated below. You should direct questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal and requests for notices of guaranteed delivery to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

By Registered or Certified Mail, or

Hand Delivery or Overnight Delivery

The Bank of New York Mellon, as Exchange Agent

c/o The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation

Corporate Trust Operations—Reorganization Unit

101 Barclay Street - Floor 7 East

New York, New York 10286

Attn: [            ]

By Facsimile Transmission:

(Eligible Institutions Only)

212-298-1915

Confirm by Telephone:

[            ]

If you deliver the letter of transmittal to an address other than any address indicated above or transmit instructions by facsimile to a facsimile number other than any facsimile number indicated above, then your delivery or transmission will not constitute a valid delivery of the letter of transmittal.

Payment of Expenses

We have not retained any dealer-manager or similar agent in connection with the Exchange Offer. We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers or others for soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer. However, we will pay the reasonable and customary fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to the exchange agent in connection therewith. We will also pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the Exchange Offer, including accounting, legal, printing and other related fees and expenses.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

Upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, certain rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, including registration rights and the right to receive the contingent increases in the interest rate, will terminate. The original notes that are not exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will remain restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, such original notes may be resold only (i) to us or our subsidiaries, (ii) to a qualified institutional buyer in compliance with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) to an institutional accredited investor that, prior to such transfer, furnishes to the trustee (which is The Bank of New York Mellon) (the “Trustee”) a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of the original notes (the form of which letter can be obtained from the Trustee) and, if requested by us and the Trustee, an opinion of counsel acceptable to us that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (iv) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available) or (v) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. The liquidity of the original notes could be adversely affected by the Exchange Offer.

16

Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer

The exchange of original notes for Exchange Notes will not be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the Exchange Notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or in extent from the original notes. Rather, the Exchange Notes received by a holder of original notes will be treated as a continuation of such holder’s investment in the original notes. As a result, there will be no material U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders exchanging original notes for Exchange Notes.

PERSONS CONSIDERING THE EXCHANGE OF THE ORIGINAL NOTES FOR EXCHANGE NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN LAWS OF SUCH AN EXCHANGE.

Accounting Treatment

The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the original notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, no gain or loss for accounting purposes will be recognized. See “Description of the Notes—Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer.”

17

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes, we will receive in exchange the original notes of like principal amount. The form and terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the original notes, except for certain transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the original notes and except for certain provisions providing for an increase in the interest rate on the original notes under certain circumstances relating to the timing of the Exchange Offer. The original notes surrendered in exchange for the Exchange Notes will be retired and canceled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the Exchange Notes will not result in any increase in our outstanding debt or in the obligations of the Guarantor.

On September 14, 2012, we issued and sold the original notes. The net proceeds of approximately $988 million from the sale of the notes were used for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

News America is party to a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $2.0 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, with a sub-limit of $400 million (or its equivalent in Euros) available for the issuance of letters of credit, and expires in May 2017. News America may request certain increases in the amount of the credit facility and may also request that the commitments be extended for up to two additional one-year periods. At September 30, 2012, nothing was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Agreement provides that News America may borrow funds thereunder. Borrowings are in U.S. dollars only, while letters of credit are issuable in U.S. dollars or Euros. The significant terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement include, among others, the requirement that News Corporation maintain specific leverage ratios and limitations on secured indebtedness. As of September 30, 2012, News America and News Corporation are in compliance with all such requirements. Given its current debt ratings, News America pays a facility fee of 0.125%, regardless of facility usage. News America pays interest for borrowings at a fluctuating interest rate per annum. In addition, the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by News Corporation.

(b) See Notes 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of News Corporation for information with respect to significant acquisitions, disposals, changes in accounting, impairment charges, restructuring charges and other transactions during fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010.

(c) Fiscal 2009 results included non-cash impairment charges of approximately $8.9 billion ($7.2 billion, net of tax) consisting of a write-down of News Corporation’s indefinite-lived intangible assets (primarily FCC licenses in the Television segment) of $4.6 billion, a write-down of $4.1 billion of goodwill and a write-down of the Publishing segment’s fixed assets of $185 million. Also, during fiscal 2009, News Corporation exchanged approximately 67% of the NDS Group plc (“NDS”) Series B ordinary shares held by News Corporation for $63 per share in a mix of approximately $1.5 billion in cash, which included $780 million of cash retained upon deconsolidation of NDS, and a $242 million vendor note, resulting in a gain of $1.2 billion. Additionally, in fiscal 2009, News Corporation completed the sale of eight of its owned-and-operated FOX network affiliated television stations for approximately $1 billion in cash and recorded a gain of approximately $232 million.

(d) Fiscal 2008 results included News Corporation’s acquisition of Dow Jones for consideration of approximately $5.7 billion. The consideration consisted of approximately $5.2 billion in cash, assumed net debt of $330 million and $200 million in equity instruments. In addition, fiscal 2008 results included the share exchange agreement with Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”). Liberty exchanged its entire interest in News Corporation’s common stock in exchange for News Corporation’s entire interest in The DIRECTV Group, Inc., three of News Corporation’s Regional Sports Networks and approximately $625 million cash resulting in a tax-free gain of approximately $1.7 billion.

(e) News Corporation’s Board of Directors currently declares an interim and final dividend each fiscal year. The final dividend is determined by the Board of Directors subsequent to the fiscal year end. Through fiscal 2007, shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) carried rights to a greater dividend than shares of the Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”). As such, net income available to News Corporation’s stockholders was allocated between shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The allocation between these classes of common stock was based upon the two-class method. Subsequent to the final fiscal 2007 dividend payment, shares of Class A Common Stock ceased to carry any rights to a greater dividend than shares of Class B Common Stock. The total dividend declared related to fiscal 2012 results was $0.17 per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. The total dividend declared related to fiscal 2011 results was $0.17 per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The notes were issued under an Indenture dated as of August 25, 2009, as amended and restated on February 16, 2011 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, News Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), in a transaction that is not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. See “Notice to investors.” References to the notes include the Exchange Notes (as hereinafter defined) unless the context otherwise requires. Series of debt securities issued under the Indenture, including the notes, or other predecessor senior indentures are referred to herein as “Debt Securities.” The following summaries of the material provisions of the notes and the Indenture do not purport to be complete and are subject, and are qualified in their entirety by reference, to all the provisions of the notes and the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms. Capitalized terms used in this section and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

General

The notes will be initially limited to $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount and will mature on September 15, 2022.

The Company may from time to time, without notice to or consent of holders of the notes, issue additional notes of the same tenor, coupon and other terms as the notes, so that such additional notes and the notes offered hereby will form a single series. Interest will accrue on the notes from September 14, 2012, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year commencing on March 15, 2013 to the person (or any predecessor) in whose name the notes are registered at the close of business on March 1 or September 1, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Interest will be computed assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The notes are not entitled to any sinking fund.

The notes will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The notes will be represented by global notes (the “Global Securities”) registered in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities that may be issued thereunder and provides that Debt Securities, including the notes, may be issued thereunder from time to time in one or more series. As of September 30, 2012, there were approximately $4.5 billion of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture and $12.0 billion issued under various predecessor senior indentures. While most of the terms of the predecessor senior indentures and the Indenture are the same, there are several significant differences described under “Repurchase upon change of control triggering event” which could result in different consequences for holders of Debt Securities issued under the predecessor senior indentures and those issued under the Indenture. In addition, other provisions of the Indenture regarding the Limitation on Liens covenant, Events of Default and Guarantees by Subsidiaries have been changed from predecessor senior indentures. For a complete list of predecessor senior indentures, see the exhibit list of News Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, filed with the Commission on August 14, 2012, as amended.

The Company has appointed The Bank of New York Mellon at its offices at 525 William Penn Place, 38^th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15259, to serve as registrar and paying agent under the Indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer, exchange or redemption of notes, except in certain circumstances, for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith.

Additional interest

As discussed under “Exchange offer; registration rights,” pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantor will agree to file with the Commission a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) with respect to the notes and to offer to the holders of such notes who are able to make

21

certain representations the opportunity to exchange their notes (the “Exchange Offer”) for notes issued under the Indenture containing terms identical to such holders’ notes (except that the transfer restrictions thereon shall be eliminated). The notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer in exchange for the notes are referred to herein as the “Exchange Notes”. In the event that the Company and the Guarantor are not permitted to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC Policy or, in certain other circumstances, including if for any reason the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 180^th day after the date the notes are first issued (the “Issue Date”), the Company and the Guarantor will file with the Commission a shelf registration statement with respect to resales of the notes by the holders thereof. The interest rate on the notes is subject to increase under certain circumstances during any period in which the Company and the Guarantor are not in compliance with their obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. See “Exchange offer; registration rights.”

Ranking

The notes will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Company and will constitute Indebtedness (as defined below) ranking pari passu with all other unsecured Indebtedness of the Company which is not by its terms subordinated to the notes. The Guarantee constitutes Indebtedness of the Guarantor and is intended to rank pari passu with all other unsecured Indebtedness of such Guarantor which is not by its terms subordinated to the Guarantee.

“Indebtedness” of any Person is defined as, at any date, and without duplication, any obligation for or in respect of: (i) money borrowed (whether or not for cash consideration and whether or not the recourse of the lender is to the whole of the assets of such Person or only a portion thereof) and premiums (if any) and capitalized interest (if any) in respect thereof; (ii) all obligations (if any) with respect to any debenture, bond (other than performance and similar bonds), note, loan, stock or similar instrument (whether or not issued for cash consideration); (iii) liabilities of such Person in respect of any letter of credit (other than in respect of Trade Payables, Programming Liabilities, or royalties), bankers’ acceptance or note purchase facility or any liability with respect to any recourse receivables purchase, factoring or discounting arrangement; (iv) all obligations of such Person with respect to Capitalized Lease Obligations (whether in respect of buildings, machinery, equipment or otherwise); (v) all obligations created or arising under any deferred purchase or conditional sale agreement or arrangement or representing the balance deferred and unpaid of the purchase price of any property that would appear as a liability on a statement of financial positions of such Person prepared in accordance with GAAP (including pursuant to financing leases), except any such balance which represents a Trade Payable, Programming Liability or royalty; (vi) all obligations of such Person to purchase, redeem, retire, defease or otherwise acquire for value any Redeemable Stock of such Person or any warrants, rights or options to acquire such Redeemable Stock valued, in the case of Redeemable Stock, at the greatest amount payable in respect thereof on a liquidation (whether voluntary or involuntary) plus accrued and unpaid dividends; (vii) direct or indirect guarantees of all Indebtedness of other Persons referred to in clauses (i) to (vi) above or legally binding agreements by any Person (a) to supply funds to or in any other manner invest in the debtor (including any agreement to pay for property or services irrespective of whether such property is received or such services are rendered), or (b) otherwise to assure in a legally binding manner any Person to whom Indebtedness is owed against loss; and (viii) all Indebtedness of the types referred to in clauses (i) to (vii) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any encumbrance on any asset owned by such Person, even though such Person has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such Indebtedness. The amount of Indebtedness of any Person at any date shall be (without duplication) (i) the outstanding balance at such date of all unconditional obligations as described above and the maximum liability of any such contingent obligations at such date and (ii) in the case of Indebtedness of others secured by a Lien to which the property or assets owned or held by such Person is subject, the lesser of the fair market value at such date of any asset subject to a Lien securing the Indebtedness of others and the amount of the Indebtedness secured. Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, for purposes of the Indenture, any obligation owed solely between or among members of the News Consolidated Group shall not constitute “Indebtedness”.

22

Guarantees

The notes will be unconditionally guaranteed by News Corporation. See “The guarantor of the notes” in the Company’s offering circular relating to the original notes. The Guarantee is intended to rank pari passu with News Corporation’s obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement and its obligations under the various senior public debt instruments issued by the Company or News Corporation.

Redemption by the Company

The notes are redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, at any time or from time to time, upon mailed notice to the registered address of each holder of notes at least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the redemption. The redemption price will be equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) on the notes discounted to the date of redemption, on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the applicable Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points for the notes. Accrued interest will be paid to the date of redemption. All calculations thereunder shall be made by the Company.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semi- annual equivalent yield to maturity (computed as of the third business day immediately preceding that redemption date) of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined below), assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Reference Treasury Dealer (as defined below) as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the applicable notes, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the applicable notes.

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations (as defined below) for that redemption date.

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and its successor. If the Reference Treasury Dealer shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer, the Company will substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealer.

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by the Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding that redemption date.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes that would be due after the related redemption date but for that redemption. If that redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to the notes being redeemed, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on the notes being redeemed will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on the notes to such redemption date.

On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the notes being redeemed or any portion of the notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price and accrued interest). On or before the redemption date, the Company will deposit with a paying agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the notes to be redeemed on that date. If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed, the notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the trustee by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate.

23

Repurchase upon change of control triggering event

Within 60 days after the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as herein defined), the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. The offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) shall be made not later than the 60^th Business Day after the Change of Control Triggering Event.

The Company shall commence a Change of Control Offer by mailing a notice to each holder of the notes stating: (i) that the Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to a covenant in the Indenture and that all notes validly tendered will be accepted for payment; (ii) the purchase price and the purchase date (which shall be not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”); (iii) that any notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change of Control Payment Date; (iv) that holders electing to have notes purchased pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender the notes to the paying agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Change of Control Payment Date; (v) that holders will be entitled to withdraw their tender of notes on the terms and conditions set forth in such notice which will allow any holder to withdraw notes if they notify the Trustee prior to the Change of Control Payment Date; and (vi) that holders who elect to require that only a portion of the notes held by them be repurchased by the Company will be issued new notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered. No notes will be purchased from any holder of notes who does not tender any notes pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall (i) accept for payment tendered notes or portions thereof pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (ii) deposit with the paying agent cash in same-day funds sufficient to pay the purchase price of notes or portions thereof so accepted and (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee notes so accepted. The paying agent shall promptly make available to the holders of notes so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and make available for delivery to such holders a new security of the same class equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of notes surrendered. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. For purposes of this covenant, the Trustee shall act as the paying agent.

This covenant is intended to allow the holders of notes the option of having their notes purchased in the event that someone other than members of the Murdoch Family (as herein defined) acquires a majority of the voting interest of News Corporation and a Rating Decline (as herein defined) occurs shortly thereafter.

News Corporation and its Subsidiaries will comply with the appropriate provisions of the Exchange Act, including Rule 14e-1, in the event of a Change of Control Offer. The Change of Control purchase feature of the notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a takeover of News Corporation and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. The Change of Control purchase feature, however, is not the result of management’s knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate Class B Common Stock of News Corporation or to obtain control of News Corporation by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise, or part of a plan by management to adopt a series of anti-takeover provisions. Instead, the Change of Control purchase feature is a standard term contained in other offerings of debt securities of other issuers containing features corresponding to the terms of the notes.

The Company’s ability to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event will depend upon the availability of cash sufficient to pay the purchase price and upon the terms of its and News Corporation’s then existing loan agreements and indentures. If a Change of Control were to occur, there can be no assurance that the Company would have funds sufficient to pay the Change of Control purchase price for all of the notes that might be delivered by holders seeking to exercise the purchase right. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement, to which News Corporation, the Company and certain of their Affiliates are parties, could

24

restrict the ability of the Company to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control. The ability of the Company to repurchase the notes upon a Change of Control will depend upon the principal amount of the notes required to be repurchased, the limitations imposed by the covenants (whether contained in the Revolving Credit Agreement or otherwise) then in effect and, if required, the consent by the banks representing a majority of the outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

“Change of Control” shall mean the occurrence of the following: any person (as the term “person” is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than News Corporation, any Subsidiary of News Corporation, any employee benefit plan of either News Corporation or any Subsidiary of News Corporation, or the Murdoch Family, becomes the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of News Corporation’s then outstanding common stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors (“Voting Securities”).

“Change of Control Triggering Event” shall mean a Change of Control and a Rating Decline.

“Investment Grade” is defined as a rating of BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s Corporation and its successors (“S&P”) or a rating of Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. and its successors (“Moody’s”) or the equivalent of such ratings.

“Murdoch Family” shall mean K. Rupert Murdoch, his wife, mother, children, or brothers or sisters or children of brothers or sisters, or grandchildren, grand nieces and grand nephews and other members of his immediate family or any trust or any other entity directly or indirectly controlled by one or more of the members of the Murdoch Family described above (“controlled entities”). A trust shall be deemed controlled by the Murdoch Family if the majority of the trustees are members of the Murdoch Family or can be removed or replaced by any one or more members of the Murdoch Family or the controlled entities.

“Rating Agencies” is defined as (i) S&P and (ii) Moody’s or (iii) if S&P or Moody’s or both shall not make a rating of the notes publicly available, a nationally recognized securities rating agency or agencies, as the case may be, selected by News Corporation, which shall be substituted for S&P or Moody’s or both, as the case may be, so that there shall always be two nationally recognized securities rating agencies rating the notes.

“Rating Category” is defined as (i) with respect to S&P, any of the following categories: BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); (ii) with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); and (iii) the equivalent of any such category of S&P or Moody’s used by another Rating Agency. In determining whether the rating of the notes has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and – for S&P; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB– to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation).

“Rating Date” is defined as the date which is 90 days prior to the earlier of, (i) a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the intention by News Corporation to effect a Change of Control.

“Rating Decline” is defined as the occurrence of the following on, or within 90 days after the earlier of, (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by News Corporation to effect a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies), (a) in the event the notes are rated by either Rating Agency on the Rating Date as Investment Grade, the rating of the notes shall be reduced so that the notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies, or (b) in the event the notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies on the Rating Date, the rating of the notes by both Rating Agencies shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating Categories as well as between Rating Categories).

25

As of September 30, 2012, there were approximately $12.0 billion of Debt Securities issued under various predecessor senior indentures which contain change of control provisions different than those set forth herein. Under the terms of those predecessor senior indentures, Change of Control is defined as “the occurrence of the following: any person (as the term “person” is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) other than News Corporation, any Subsidiary of News Corporation, any employee benefit plan of either News Corporation or any Subsidiary of News Corporation, or the Murdoch Family, becomes the beneficial owner of the greater of (A) 30% or more of the combined voting power of News Corporation’s then outstanding common stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors (“Voting Securities”); and (B) if the Murdoch Family is the beneficial owner of, or has the right to vote, more than 30% of the Voting Securities, a percentage of Voting Securities greater than the percentage of Voting Securities so owned or voted by the Murdoch Family.” Also, under those predecessor senior indentures, “Rating Decline” was defined as the occurrence of the following on, or within 90 days after the earlier of, (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by News Corporation to effect a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies), (a) in the event the notes are rated by either Rating Agency on the Rating Date as Investment Grade, the rating of the notes shall be reduced so that the notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies, or (b) in the event the notes are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies on the Rating Date, the rating of the notes by either Rating Agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating Categories as well as between Rating Categories). Because of the difference in this definition from that in the Indenture pursuant to which the notes are being issued, there may be circumstances where the Company is required to offer to repurchase notes issued under predecessor senior indentures and not the notes.

Successor corporation

Neither News Corporation nor the Company shall consolidate with or merge with or into or sell, assign or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to any person (other than its Subsidiary), or permit any person (other than its Subsidiary) to merge with or into News Corporation or the Company unless: (i) News Corporation or the Company shall be the continuing person, or the person (if other than News Corporation or the Company) formed by such consolidation or into which News Corporation (or the Company) is merged or to which the properties and assets of News Corporation (or the Company), substantially as an entirety, are transferred shall (a) be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall (b) expressly assume, by supplemental indentures executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of News Corporation (or the Company) under the notes and the Indenture, and the Indenture shall remain in full force and effect; and (ii) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

In connection with any consolidation, merger or transfer contemplated hereby, News Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture, if any, in respect thereto comply with these “Successor Corporation” provisions and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transactions have been complied with.

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of News Corporation or the Company in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which News Corporation or the Company is merged or to which such transfer is made, shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of News Corporation or the Company under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as News Corporation or the Company therein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease transaction of substantially all of its property and assets, News Corporation or the Company shall be discharged from its obligations under the debt securities and the Indenture.

26

Waiver, modification and amendment

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes may waive certain past Defaults with respect to the notes. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities affected may waive the Company’s and the Guarantor’s compliance with certain restrictive provisions.

Modification and amendment of the Indenture may be made by the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the written consent (i) of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities, or (ii) in case less than all of the several series of Debt Securities then Outstanding are affected by the modification or amendment, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series so affected, voting as a single class, provided that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holders of each Debt Security affected thereby: (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of, or interest on, any Debt Security; (b) reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest, if any, on, or any premium payable upon the redemption of, any Debt Security; (c) change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, any Debt Security; (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payments on, or with respect to, any Debt Security; or (e) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of any particular series specified in this or the preceding paragraph. Any modification or amendment which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of the Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under the applicable indenture of the holders of Debt Securities of any other series.

Events of default

The following events are Defaults under the Indenture: (a) failure to pay the principal of (or premium, if any, on) the applicable series of notes when due; (b) failure to pay any interest installment on the applicable series of notes when due, continued for 30 days; (c) failure to pay the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of the applicable series of notes; (d) failure of the Company, News Corporation or any Guarantor to perform any other covenant under the Indenture (other than a covenant included in the Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Debt Securities other than the notes), continued for 90 days after written notice and (e) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of News Corporation, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of News Corporation.

If an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to Outstanding Securities of any series shall occur and be continuing, then and, in every such case, the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all of the Securities of that series and accrued interest immediately due and payable by a notice in writing to the Company and to the Trustee. If an event of default occurs and is continuing as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal amount and interest, if any, of all the debt securities of that series automatically will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holder of such securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, in certain circumstances, rescind and annul such declaration (except an acceleration due to a default in payment of the interest on any security).

The Trustee will give notice to holders of the notes of any continuing default known to the Trustee within 90 days after it becomes so known unless such default shall have been cured or waived; however, the Trustee may withhold such notice of default, other than a payment default, if it determines in good faith that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders.

27

No holder of any notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or the notes or for any remedy thereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of a default with respect to such holder’s notes and unless also the holders of not less than 25% of the principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the applicable series of notes shall have made written request upon the Trustee, and have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it, to institute such proceeding as Trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received direction inconsistent with such request in writing by the holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Securities and shall have neglected or refused to institute such proceeding within 60 days. However, the right of any holder of any note to enforce the payment of principal and interest, if any, due on such note on or after the dates expressed in such note, may not be impaired or affected.

The Indenture includes a covenant requiring certain officers of the Company to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to whether, to their knowledge, the Company is in default under the Indenture and, if so, specifying all such known Defaults.

As discussed above, as of September 30, 2012, there were approximately $12.0 billion of Debt Securities issued under various predecessor senior indentures which contain event of default provisions different than those set forth herein. Under the terms of those predecessor senior indentures events of default included (a) an event of default on any other Indebtedness for borrowed money of News Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries having an aggregate amount outstanding in excess of $100 million which has caused the holders thereof to declare such Indebtedness due and payable in advance of its scheduled maturity; (b) failure to pay at stated maturity (and the expiration of any grace period) any other Indebtedness for borrowed money of News Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $100 million; and (c) final judgments for the payment of money which in the aggregate exceed $250 million rendered against News Corporation or any Restricted Subsidiary by a court and that remain unstayed or undischarged for a period of 60 days. It is important to note that the Indenture defining the notes does not include these event of default provisions.

Discharge and defeasance

The Indenture provides that the Company may satisfy and discharge obligations thereunder with respect to the notes of any series by delivering to the Trustee for cancellation all notes of the series or depositing with the Trustee, after the notes have become due and payable, or will become due and payable within one year or will be called for redemption within one year, cash sufficient to pay at stated maturity or redemption all of the notes of the series and all other sums payable under the Indenture with respect to the series.

The Indenture provides with respect to any series of notes that the Company may elect either (A) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to any series of the notes (except as otherwise provided in the Indenture) (“defeasance”) or (B) to be released from certain of its obligations with respect to such series of the notes described under “Certain Covenants,” and “Repurchase Upon Change of Control Triggering Event” (“covenant defeasance”), in each case upon the irrevocable deposit with the Trustee, in trust for such purpose, of money, and/or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Securities (each as defined in the Indenture) which through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on, such series of the notes on the scheduled due dates therefor and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

Regarding the trustee

The Indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in such Indenture. The Trustee is The Bank of New York Mellon, 525 William Penn Place, 38^th Floor, Pittsburgh, PA 15259.

The Indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, contain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of the Company or a Guarantor, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or

28

otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict upon the occurrence of a Default or must resign. The Bank of New York Mellon is a lender under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Trustee will perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the Indenture, unless an event of default occurs and is continuing. In case an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise the same degree of care and skill as a prudent individual would exercise in the conduct of his or her own affairs. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders pursuant to the Indenture, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

Certain covenants

Guarantees by Subsidiaries. To the extent that after the date of the Indenture any Subsidiary issues any guarantee of any Public Debt in excess of $100 million and such Subsidiary is not thereafter released from such guarantee within ten Business Days, the Indenture requires that such Subsidiary guarantee the notes on a pari passu basis if such Public Debt is senior indebtedness and on a senior basis if such Public Debt is subordinated indebtedness.

Limitation on Liens. Neither News Corporation nor any Subsidiary will create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to any of its properties to secure Indebtedness unless contemporaneously therewith or prior thereto the Securities are equally and ratably secured for so long as such other Indebtedness shall be so secured, except for Permitted Encumbrances.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the notes will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The summary herein of certain provisions of the Indenture, including the defined terms therein, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture, a copy of which will be made available to prospective purchasers of the notes upon request to the Company.

Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer

The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of notes by U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders, each as defined below. This discussion is based upon the U.S. federal tax law now in effect, which is subject to change, possibly retroactively. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a note that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or any entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is includable in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source or a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or if a valid election is made to treat the trust as a U.S. person. A “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a note that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership (or an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation which may be important to particular holders in light of their individual investment circumstances, such as notes held by investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., banks or other financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, U.S. expatriates and tax-exempt organizations) or to persons that will hold the notes as a part of a straddle, hedge, or synthetic security transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes or that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. If a partnership (or any entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. In addition, this summary does not discuss any foreign, state or local tax considerations. This summary assumes that investors will hold their notes as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Issuer will treat the notes as debt, and the following discussion assumes that the notes are properly characterized as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING AND DISPOSING OF NOTES, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY NON-U.S., STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders

Exchange of the Original Notes for Exchange Notes

The exchange of an original note for an Exchange Note pursuant to the Exchange Offer will not constitute a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the Exchange Note will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the original note. Accordingly, the Exchange Note will be treated for U.S. federal tax purposes as a continuation of the original note in the hands of a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder. As a result, (1) a holder will not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange, (2) the holder’s holding period for an Exchange Note will include the holding period for the original note, and (3) the holder’s adjusted tax basis of the Exchange Note will be the same as the holder’s adjusted basis of the original note. The Exchange Offer will not have any U.S. federal income tax consequences for a nonexchanging holder of an original note.

33

Taxation of U.S. Holders

Interest

A U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as ordinary interest income the stated interest on a note at the time the interest accrues or is received, in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Optional Redemption and Change of Control

We intend to take the position that the likelihood of an optional redemption, as described under “Description of the Notes—Redemption by the Company,” or of a Change of Control Offer, as described under “Description of the Notes—Repurchase upon change of control triggering event,” is remote within the meaning of the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and, in accordance with such treatment, a U.S. Holder would not be required to take into account any such payment until such payment is made by the Company. However, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may take a contrary position, which could affect both the timing of a U.S. Holder’s recognition of income from the notes and our deduction with respect to such payment.

Sale, Exchange or Disposition of the Notes

Upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of an exchange note, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition (not including the amount allocable to accrued and unpaid interest not previously included in gross income, which will be treated as ordinary interest income), and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note. The amount realized will equal the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received on the disposition of the note. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the note will generally equal such U.S. Holder’s purchase price for the note reduced by any principal payments on the note received by such U.S. Holder. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the note exceeds one year at the time of the disposition.

Market Discount

A U.S. Holder that purchases a note for an amount that is less than its principal amount will have market discount with respect to the note in the amount of such excess. Such U.S. Holder is required (unless the market discount is less than a de minimis amount) to treat any principal payments on, or any gain realized on the disposition or retirement of such note, as interest income to the extent of the market discount that accrued while such U.S. Holder held the note, unless the U.S. Holder elects to include the market discount in income on a current basis (see “Accrual Method Election” below). “Accrued” market discount is determined on a straight-line basis or, at the U.S. Holder’s election, on a constant-yield basis. Market discount is considered to be a de minimis amount if it is less than one-quarter of one percent of the note’s principal amount multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity after the U.S. Holder acquired the note. If a U.S. Holder disposes of a note with more than a de minimis amount of market discount in a nontaxable transaction in exchange for property whose adjusted basis is determined by reference to the adjusted basis of the note, such U.S. Holder must include all market discount in income as if such U.S. Holder had sold the note at its then fair market value.

If a U.S. Holder acquires a note at a market discount and does not make the accrual method election described below, such U.S. Holder may be required to defer the deduction of a portion of the interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the note until the deferred income is realized.

Accrual Method Election

A U.S. Holder that purchases a note with market discount may elect to include in gross income such U.S. Holder’s entire return on the note (i.e., the excess of all remaining payments to be received on the note over the amount such U.S. Holder paid for the note) based on the compounding of interest at a constant rate. Such an

34

election will apply to all debt instruments with market discount acquired by such U.S. Holder after the first day of the first taxable year to which such election applies. The election may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

Bond Premium

A U.S. Holder that purchases a note for an amount in excess of its principal amount will have premium with respect to the note in the amount of such excess. Such U.S. Holder may elect to treat the premium as “amortizable bond premium.” If such an election is made, the amount of interest such U.S. Holder must include in income for each accrual period is reduced by the portion of the premium allocable to such period based on the note’s yield to maturity. If the amortizable bond premium exceeds the interest allocable to the accrual period, the electing U.S. Holder must treat the excess as a bond premium deduction for the accrual period. However, the amount treated as a bond premium deduction is limited to the amount by which such U.S. Holder’s total interest income on the note in prior accrual periods exceeds the total amount treated by such U.S. Holder as bond premium on the note in prior accrual periods. A U.S. Holder generally may not assume that a note will be redeemed or converted prior to maturity for this purpose. If the note is in fact redeemed, such U.S. Holder may deduct any unamortized premium in the year of redemption. If a U.S. Holder makes the election described in this paragraph, the election will apply to all debt instruments the interest on which is not excludible from gross income (“fully taxable bonds”) that such U.S. Holder holds at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and to all fully taxable bonds such U.S. Holder later acquires. The election may be revoked only with the consent of the IRS.

If a U.S. Holder does not make this election, such U.S. Holder must include the full amount of each interest payment in income as described in “Interest” above. The U.S. Holder will receive a tax benefit from the premium only in computing gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition or retirement of the note.

Medicare Tax

For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a United States person that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) such person’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of such person’s modified gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A U.S. Holder’s net investment income will generally include its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of notes, unless such interest payments or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). If you are a United States person that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the notes.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders may be subject to backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28%, on payments of principal and interest on, and the proceeds of the disposition of, the notes, if the U.S. Holder (1) fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), which, for an individual, would generally be his or her Social Security Number, (2) provides an incorrect TIN, (3) is notified by the IRS that it has failed to report payments of interest or dividends, or (4) under certain circumstances, fails to certify that it is exempt from withholding. In addition, such payments of principal, interest and disposition proceeds to U.S. Holders will generally be subject to information reporting.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld from payment to a U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if available.

35

Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders

Interest

Provided the beneficial owner of the notes fulfills certain certification requirements of section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code as described below under the heading “Owner Statement Requirement,” interest paid by the Company to a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax unless (A) the Non-U.S. Holder (i) actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the total voting power of all voting stock of the Company or (ii) is a controlled foreign corporation with respect to which the Company is a “related person” within the meaning of the Code or (B) such Non-U.S. Holder held the notes in connection with a U.S. trade or business carried on by such Non-U.S. Holder. Interest that does not qualify for exemption under these rules and is not effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business generally will be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% unless such tax is reduced or eliminated by an applicable treaty. A Non-U.S. Holder that is engaged in the conduct of a U.S. trade or business will be subject to (i) U.S. federal income tax on interest that is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business (or, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States of such Non-U.S. Holder pursuant to an applicable tax treaty) and (ii) if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, a U.S. branch profits tax equal to 30% of its “effectively connected earnings and profits” as adjusted for the taxable year, unless the Non-U.S. Holder qualifies for an exemption from such tax or a lower tax rate under an applicable treaty. Any such interest that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business or attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if such Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. person.

Gain on Disposition

A Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on a sale, redemption or other disposition of notes unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by the Non-U.S. Holder (or, if a treaty applies, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States of such Non-U.S. Holder) or (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder who is an individual, such Non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year and certain other requirements are met. Any such gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business or attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if such Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder and, if such Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, such gain may also be subject to the 30% U.S. branch profits tax described above.

Federal Estate Taxes

If interest on the notes is exempt from withholding of U.S. federal income tax under the rules described above (without regard to the requirements described below under the heading “Owner Statement Requirement”), the notes held by an individual who at the time of death is a Non-U.S. Holder and is not engaged in a U.S. trade or business generally will not be subject to U.S. federal estate tax as a result of such individual’s death.

Owner Statement Requirement

Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Code require that either the beneficial owner of a note or a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business (a “Financial Institution”) and that holds notes on behalf of such owner file a statement (IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8IMY, as applicable, or any successor form) with the Company or its agent to the effect that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person in order to avoid withholding of U.S. federal income tax (an “Owner’s Statement”).

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Current U.S. federal income tax law provides that in the case of payments of interest to Non-U.S. Holders, backup withholding generally will not apply to payments made outside the United States by the Company or a

36

paying agent on a note if an Owner’s Statement is received or an exemption has otherwise been established; provided in each case that the Company or a paying agent, as the case may be, does not have actual knowledge that the payee is a U.S. person.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding in their particular situations, the availability of an exemption therefrom, and the procedure for obtaining such an exemption, if available. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Rules for Foreign Accounts

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (“FATCA”) impose a withholding tax of 30% on certain types of payments by U.S. entities (such as the Issuer) made to persons that fail to meet requirements under FATCA. This withholding tax may be imposed on a portion of payments to (i) certain holders or beneficial owners of notes that do not provide certain information requested by the Issuer (or any relevant intermediary), (ii) any recipient (including an intermediary) of a payment that is a non-U.S. financial institution and has not (or the relevant financial institution has not) entered into an agreement with the IRS under FATCA and (iii) any recipient or intermediary that has not otherwise established an exemption from FATCA.

This legislation is generally effective for notes issued after December 31, 2012. However, under recently proposed IRS regulations, these withholding provisions will only apply to payments of interest on the notes made on or after January 1, 2014 and to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of notes made on or after January 1, 2015. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding this legislation.

Neither a holder nor a beneficial owner of notes will be entitled to any additional amounts in the event such withholding tax is imposed. Certain beneficial owners may be eligible for a refund of amounts withheld as a result of FATCA.

BOOK-ENTRY; DELIVERY AND FORM

The Company will initially issue the Exchange Notes in the form of one or more global notes. Each global note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. Except as described below, a global note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to DTC or another nominee of DTC. You may hold your beneficial interests in any global note directly through DTC if you have an account with DTC or indirectly through organizations which have accounts with DTC.

DTC has advised the Company as follows:

• it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York,

• it is a member of the Federal Reserve System,

• is a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and

• it is “a clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

DTC was created to hold securities of institutions that have accounts with it (“participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, which may include the initial purchasers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC and FINRA. Access to DTC’s book-entry system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, whether directly or indirectly.

The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the Commission.

The Company expects that, pursuant to procedures established by DTC, upon the deposit of a global note with DTC, DTC will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the principal amount of notes represented by the global note to the accounts of participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by the initial purchasers. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be limited to participants or persons that may hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will be shown on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC, with respect to participants’ interests, or by DTC’s direct and indirect participants, with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in the global note other than participants. The laws of some jurisdictions may require that purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. These limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the global note.

So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered holder and owner of the global note, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole legal owner and holder of any notes evidenced by the global note for all purposes of the notes and the Indenture. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the notes; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the participants to whose accounts such notes are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Except as set forth below, as an owner of a beneficial interest in the global note, you will not be entitled to have the notes represented by the global note registered in your name, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes and will not be considered to be the owner or holder of any notes under the global note. The Company understands that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in the global note desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of the global note, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through those participants and indirect participants.

38

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to participants, by participants to indirect participants, and by participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners of the notes may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the notes, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults and proposed amendments to the security documents. Beneficial owners of the notes may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the notes for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to beneficial owners, or in the alternative, beneficial owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of the notices be provided directly to them.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the notes within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each participant in such issue to be redeemed.

The Company will make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on notes represented by the global note registered in the name of and held by DTC or its nominee to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the global note.

The Company expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the global note will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by participants or indirect participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through direct and indirect participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of the participants. The Company will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the global note for any note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its direct or indirect participants or the relationship between those participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the global note owning through those participants.

Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the global note among participants in DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, note certificates are required to be printed and delivered as described under “Description of Exchange Notes.” Neither the Trustee nor the Company will have any responsibility or liability for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that the Company believes to be reliable, but the Company takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with the resale of the Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for original notes where such original notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date and ending on the close of business on the first anniversary of the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until                     , 2013 (90 days after the date of delivery of this prospectus), all broker-dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale. These resales may be made at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any of the Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of the Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of 90 days after the expiration date, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests these documents in the letter of transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the performance of our obligations in connection with the Exchange Offer. We will indemnify the holders of the notes (including any broker-dealer) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

News America and News Corporation are each governed by the laws of the state of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL, provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonable incurred in connection with a pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal proceeding, if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, provided that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the adjudicating court determines that such an indemnification is proper under the circumstances.

With Respect to News America Incorporated

News America’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that News America shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

News America’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that no director shall be personally liable to News America or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to News America or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction in which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

News Corporation maintains insurance on behalf of its officers and directors and officers and directors of its subsidiaries, including News America, against any liability which may be asserted against any such officer or director, subject to certain customary exclusions.

With Respect to News Corporation

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation, or an amendment thereto validly approved by stockholders, to eliminate or limit personal liability of members of its Board of Directors for violations of a director’s fiduciary duty of care. However, the elimination or limitation shall not apply where there has been a breach of the duty of loyalty, a failure to act in good faith, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of a law, a violation of Section 174 of the DGCL or an improper personal benefit is obtained in any transaction.

News Corporation’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable to News Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

The Amended and Restated By-Laws of News Corporation provide, generally, that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it exists or may in the future be amended, News Corporation will indemnify each person who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to or who is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or otherwise, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a

II-1

director or officer of News Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of News Corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation, partnership or other enterprise, whether the basis of such action, suit or proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving as a director or officer (and may indemnify, to the extent authorized by its Board of Directors, any officer, employee or agent of News Corporation), against all expense, liability, and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to such person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or in any other capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors, and administrators.

News Corporation maintains insurance on behalf of its officers and directors.

Article VII of News Corporation’s Amended and Restated By-Laws includes the following language:

“ARTICLE VII—INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Indemnification.

Each person who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, or in any other capacity (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in such person’s official capacity or in any other capacity while holding such office, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise or other taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to serve as a director or officer or in any other capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors, and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this ARTICLE VII with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

Section 2. Advancement of Expenses.

The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by indemnitee in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that no such advancement of expenses shall be made except upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision or order from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this ARTICLE VII or otherwise.

Section 8. Indemnification of Other Persons.

The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant indemnification rights and rights to the advancement of expenses to any officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provision of this ARTICLE VII and as permitted by the DGCL with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses to directors.”

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS

1. The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants’ annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

2. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

3. The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that:

(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

4. The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

5. The undersigned registrants hereby undertake to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

News Corporation

c/o News America Incorporated

New York, New York 10036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as counsel to News America Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and News Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company and the Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the proposed issuance of up to US$1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Exchange Notes”) and the related irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of the Exchange Notes on a senior, unsecured basis by the Guarantor (the “Guarantee”) in exchange for a like principal amount of the Company’s currently outstanding 3.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Original Notes”). The Original Notes were issued, and the Exchange Notes will be issued, pursuant to an Indenture dated as of August 25, 2009, as amended and restated on February 16, 2011 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Company, News Corporation, as guarantor, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R. § 229.601(b)(5), in connection with the Registration Statement.

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined copies of such agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed an appropriate basis on which to render the opinions hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all original documents, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (including telecopies, facsimiles and electronic copies). As to all matters of fact, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the documents so reviewed, and we have not independently established the facts so relied on. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

To the extent that the obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under the Indenture may depend upon such matters, we assume for purposes of the opinions expressed herein (i) that the Trustee is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (ii) that the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture; (iii) that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by the Trustee and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; (iv) that, with respect to acting as a trustee under the Indenture, the Trustee is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations; and (v) that the Trustee has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture.

This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on the applicable provisions of (i) the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and (ii) the laws of the State of New York, (but not including any statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations of any political subdivision of the State of New York). We express no opinion herein as to any other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, or regulations.

Also, with your approval, we have relied as to certain matters on information obtained from public officials, officers of the Company and the Guarantor and other sources believed by us to be responsible, and we have assumed that the Exchange Notes and Guarantee conform to the specimens thereof examined by us and that the Trustee’s certificate of authentication of the Exchange Notes has been manually signed by one of the Trustee’s authorized officers.

Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(a)(i) following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and receipt by the Company of the Original Notes in exchange for the Exchange Notes as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 14, 2012, by and among the Company, the Guarantor and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as initial purchasers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) entered into in connection with the issuance of the Original Notes, and (ii) assuming the due execution, issuance, delivery and authentication of the Exchange Notes as provided in the Indenture, the Exchange Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company.

(b)(i) following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and receipt by the Company of the Original Notes in exchange for the Exchange Notes as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the issuance of the Original Notes, (ii) assuming the due execution, issuance, delivery and authentication of the Exchange Notes as provided in the Indenture, and (iii) assuming the due execution and delivery of the Guarantee as provided in the Indenture, the Guarantee will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor.

In addition to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations elsewhere set forth in this opinion letter, our opinions expressed in this opinion letter above are also subject to the effect of: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory and other law regarding fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers and preferential transfers) and (ii) the exercise of judicial discretion and the application of principles of equity, good faith, fair dealing, reasonableness, conscionability and materiality (regardless of whether the applicable agreements are considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

We express no opinion in this letter as to any other laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, or regulations not specifically identified above as being covered hereby (and in particular, we express no opinion as to any effect that such other laws and regulations may have on the opinions expressed herein). We express no opinion in this letter as to federal or state securities laws or regulations, antitrust, unfair competition, banking, or tax laws or regulations, or laws or regulations of any political subdivision below the state level. The opinions set forth above are based upon a review of only those laws and regulations (not otherwise excluded in this letter) that, in our experience, are generally recognized as applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Indenture, the Registration Statement, the Exchange Notes and the Guarantee.

This opinion letter has been prepared for use in connection with the Registration Statement. We assume no obligation to advise you of any changes in the foregoing subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are an “expert” within the meaning of the Act.

Very truly yours,

The undersigned hereby tenders to News America Incorporated (the “Company”), the above-described principal amount of original notes in exchange for the like principal amount of the above described exchange notes which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus dated                      (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Prospectus, constitute the “Exchange Offer”).

Subject to and effective upon the acceptance for exchange of all or any portion of the original notes tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including, if the Exchange Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to or upon the order of the Company all right, title and interest in and to such original notes as are being tendered herewith. The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent is also acting as agent of the Company in connection with the Exchange Offer) with respect to the tendered original notes, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) subject only to the right of withdrawal described in the Prospectus, to (i) deliver certificates for original notes (the “Certificates”) to the Company together with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity to, or upon the order of, the Company, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent, as the undersigned’s agent, of the exchange notes to be issued in exchange for such original notes, (ii) present Certificates for transfer, and to transfer the original notes on the books of the Company, and (iii) receive for the account of the Company all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such original notes, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer.

THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT THE UNDERSIGNED HAS FULL POWER AND AUTHORITY TO TENDER, EXCHANGE, SELL, ASSIGN AND TRANSFER THE ORIGINAL NOTES TENDERED HEREBY AND THAT, WHEN THE SAME ARE ACCEPTED FOR EXCHANGE, THE COMPANY WILL ACQUIRE GOOD, MARKETABLE AND UNENCUMBERED TITLE THERETO, FREE AND CLEAR OF ALL LIENS, RESTRICTIONS, CHARGES AND ENCUMBRANCES, AND THAT THE ORIGINAL NOTES TENDERED HEREBY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO ANY ADVERSE CLAIMS OR PROXIES. THE UNDERSIGNED WILL, UPON REQUEST, EXECUTE AND DELIVER ANY ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS DEEMED BY THE COMPANY OR THE EXCHANGE AGENT TO BE NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE TO COMPLETE THE EXCHANGE, ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER OF THE ORIGINAL NOTES TENDERED HEREBY, AND THE UNDERSIGNED WILL COMPLY WITH ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT. THE UNDERSIGNED HAS READ AND AGREES TO ALL OF THE TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER.

The Certificate number(s) and the original notes that the undersigned wishes to tender should be indicated in the appropriate boxes above.

If any tendered original notes are not exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer for any reason, or if Certificates are submitted for more original notes than are tendered or accepted for exchange, Certificates for such nonexchanged or nontendered original notes will be returned (or, in the case of original notes tendered by book-entry transfer, such original notes will be credited to an account maintained at DTC), without expense to the tendering holder, promptly following the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

The undersigned understands that tenders of original notes pursuant to any one of the procedures described in the section entitled “The Exchange Offer” under the heading “Procedures for Tendering” in the Prospectus and in the instructions attached hereto will, upon the Company’s acceptance for exchange of such tendered original notes, constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.

4. Partial Tenders and Withdrawal Rights. Tenders of original notes will be accepted only in integral multiples of US$1,000 principal amount, provided that if any original notes are tendered for exchange in part, the untendered amount thereof must be in integral multiples of US$1,000 principal amount. If less than all the original notes evidenced by any Certificate submitted are to be tendered, fill in the principal amount of original notes which are to be tendered in the box entitled “Principal Amount of Original Notes Tendered.” In such case, new Certificate(s) for the remainder of the original notes that were evidenced by your old Certificate(s) will only be sent to the holder of the original notes, promptly after the Expiration Date. All original notes represented by Certificates delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.

Except as otherwise provided herein, tenders of original notes may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date. In order for a withdrawal to be effective on or prior to that time, a written, telegraphic, telex or facsimile transmission of such notice of withdrawal must be timely received by the Exchange Agent at one of its addresses set forth above or in the Prospectus on or prior to the Expiration Date. Any such notice of withdrawal must specify the name of the person who tendered the original notes to be withdrawn, identify the original notes to be withdrawn (including the aggregate principal amount of original notes to be withdrawn), and (if Certificates for original notes have been tendered) the name of the registered holder of the original notes as set forth on the Certificate for the original notes, if different from that of the person who tendered such original notes. If Certificates for the original notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Exchange Agent, then prior to the physical release of such Certificates for the original notes, the tendering holder must submit the serial numbers shown on the particular Certificates for the original notes to be withdrawn and the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution, except in the case of original notes tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. If original notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer set forth in the Prospectus under in the section entitled “The Exchange Offer” under the heading “Procedures for Tendering,” the notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawal of original notes, in which case a notice of withdrawal will be effective if delivered to the Exchange Agent by written, telegraphic, telex or facsimile transmission. Withdrawals of tenders of original notes may not be rescinded. Original notes properly withdrawn will not be deemed validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer, but may be retendered at any subsequent time on or prior to the Expiration Date by following any of the procedures described in the Prospectus under the section entitled “The Exchange Offer” under the heading “Procedures for Tendering.”

All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of withdrawal notices will be determined by the Company, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Neither the Company, any affiliates or assigns of the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give any notification of any irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Any original notes which have been tendered but which are withdrawn will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to such holder promptly after withdrawal.

5. Signatures on Letter of Transmittal, Assignments and Endorsement. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the original notes tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of the Certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

If any of the original notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If any tendered original notes are registered in different name(s) on several Certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal (or facsimiles thereof) as there are different registrations of Certificates.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any Certificates or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing and must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the Company, in its sole discretion, of each such person’s authority so to act.

When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the original notes listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsement(s) of Certificate(s) or separate bond power(s) are required unless Exchange Notes are to be issued in the name of a person other than the registered holder(s). Signature(s) on such Certificate(s) or bond power(s) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the original notes listed, the Certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate bond powers, signed exactly as the name or names of the registered owner(s) appear(s) on the Certificates, and also must be accompanied by such opinions of counsel, certifications and other information as the Company or the Trustee for the original notes may require in accordance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to the original notes. Signatures on such Certificates or bond powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

6. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions.

Certificates for original notes not exchanged will be returned by mail or, if tendered by book-entry transfer, by crediting the account indicated above maintained at DTC. See Instruction 4.

7. Irregularities. The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions as to the form of documents, validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for exchange of any tender of original notes, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all tenders determined by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance of which, or exchange for which, may, in the view of counsel to the Company, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right, subject to applicable law, to waive satisfaction of any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer set forth in the Prospectus in the section entitled “The Exchange Offer” under the heading “Conditions to the Exchange Offer” or irregularities in any tender of original notes of any particular holder whether or not similar conditions or irregularities are waived in the case of other holders. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions hereto) will be final and binding. No tender of original notes will be deemed to have been validly made until all irregularities with respect to such tender have been cured or waived. The Company, any affiliates or assigns of the Company, the Exchange Agent, or any other person shall not be under any duty to give notification of any irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

8. Questions, Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies. Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to the Exchange Agent at its address and telephone number set forth on the front of this Letter of Transmittal. Additional copies of the Prospectus, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and this Letter of Transmittal may be obtained from the Exchange Agent or from your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee.

9. 28% Backup Withholding; Substitute Form W-9. Under U.S. Federal income tax law, a holder whose tendered original notes are accepted for exchange is required to provide the Exchange Agent with such holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) on Substitute Form W-9 below. If the Exchange Agent is not provided with the correct TIN, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may subject the holder or other payee to a $50 penalty. In addition, payments to a holder or other payee with respect to original notes exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be subject to 28% backup withholding.

The holder is required to give the Exchange Agent the TIN (e.g., social security number or employer identification number) of the registered owner of the original notes or of the last transferee appearing on the transfers attached to, or endorsed on, the original notes.

Certain holders (including, among others, corporations, financial institutions and certain foreign persons) may not be subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. Such holders should nevertheless complete the attached Substitute Form W-9 below, and write “exempt” on the face thereof, to avoid possible erroneous backup withholding. A foreign person may qualify as an exempt recipient by submitting a properly completed IRS Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that holder’s non-U.S. status.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. Federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.

10. Waiver of Conditions. The Company reserves the absolute right to waive satisfaction of any or all conditions enumerated in the Prospectus.

11. No Conditional Tenders. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering holders of original notes, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal, shall waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of original notes for exchange.

Neither the Company, the Exchange Agent nor any other person is obligated to give notice of any irregularity with respect to any tender of original notes; nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

12. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. If any Certificate(s) representing original notes have been lost, destroyed or stolen, the holder should promptly notify the Exchange Agent. The holder will then be instructed as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the Certificate(s). This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost, destroyed or stolen Certificate(s) have been followed.

13. Security Transfer Taxes. Holders who tender their original notes for exchange will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in connection therewith. If, however, Exchange Notes are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the original notes tendered, or if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of original notes in connection with the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer tax (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR FACSIMILE THEREOF) AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.

Exhibit 99.3

EXCHANGE AGENT AGREEMENT

The Bank of New York Mellon

525 William Penn Place, 38th Floor

Pittsburgh, PA 15259

Attention: Corporate Trust Administration

Ladies and Gentlemen:

News America Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to make an offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange up to US$1,000,000,000 aggregate principle amount of its 3.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Old Securities”) for like amounts of its 3.00% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “New Securities”). The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer as currently contemplated are set forth in a prospectus, dated                      (the “Prospectus”), proposed to be distributed to all record holders of the Old Securities. The Old Securities and the New Securities are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”.

The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in connection with the Exchange Offer. References hereinafter to “you” shall refer to The Bank of New York Mellon.

The Exchange Offer is expected to be commenced by the Company on or about             . The Letter of Transmittal accompanying the Prospectus (or in the case of book-entry securities, the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) of the Book-Entry Transfer Facility (as defined below)) is to be used by the holders of the Old Securities to accept the Exchange Offer and contains instructions with respect to the delivery of certificates for Old Securities tendered in connection therewith.

The Exchange Offer shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                     , or on such subsequent date or time to which the Company may extend the Exchange Offer (the “Expiration Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus, the Company expressly reserves the right to extend the Exchange Offer from time to time and may extend the Exchange Offer by giving oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice to you before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the NASDAQ Stock Market trading day following the previously scheduled Expiration Date.

The Company expressly reserves the right to amend or terminate the Exchange Offer, and not to accept for exchange any Old Securities not theretofore accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the Exchange Offer specified in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” The Company will give oral (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice of any amendment, termination or nonacceptance to you as promptly as practicable.

In carrying out your duties as Exchange Agent, you are to act in accordance with the following instructions:

1. You will perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in the section of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer” or as specifically set forth herein; provided, however, that in no way will your general duty to act in good faith be discharged by the foregoing.

2. You will establish a book-entry account with respect to the Old Securities at The Depository Trust Company (the “Book-Entry Transfer Facility”) for purposes of the Exchange Offer within two NASDAQ Stock Market trading days after the date of the Prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s systems may make book-entry delivery of the Old Securities by causing the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to transfer such Old Securities into your account in accordance with the Book-Entry Transfer Facility’s procedure for such transfer.

3. You are to examine each of the Letters of Transmittal and certificates for Old Securities (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility) and any other documents delivered or mailed to you by or for holders of the Old Securities to ascertain whether: (i) the Letters of Transmittal and any such other documents are duly executed and properly completed in accordance with instructions set forth therein; and (ii) the Old Securities have otherwise been properly tendered. In each case where the Letter of Transmittal or any other document has been improperly completed or executed or any of the certificates for Old Securities are not in proper form for transfer or some other irregularity in connection with the acceptance of the Exchange Offer exists, you will endeavor to inform the presenters of the need for fulfillment of all requirements and to take any other action as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause such irregularity to be corrected.

4. With the approval of the Chairman, Senior Executive Vice President, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, or any Vice President of the Company (such approval, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) or any other party designated in writing by such an officer, you are authorized to waive any irregularities in connection with any tender of Old Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

5. Tenders of Old Securities may be made only as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal and in the section of the Prospectus captioned “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering”, and Old Securities shall be considered properly tendered to you only when tendered in accordance with the procedures set forth therein.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, Old Securities which the Chairman, Senior Executive Vice President, Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, or any Vice President of the Company shall approve as having been properly tendered shall be considered to be properly tendered (such approval, if given orally, shall be promptly confirmed in writing).

6. You shall advise the Company with respect to any Old Securities received subsequent to the Expiration Date and accept its instructions with respect to the disposition of such Old Securities.

7. You shall accept tenders:

(a) in cases where the Old Securities are registered in two or more names only if signed by all named holders;

(b) in cases where the signing person (as indicated on the Letter of Transmittal) is acting in a fiduciary or a representative capacity only when proper evidence of his or her authority so to act is submitted; and

(c) from persons other than the registered holder of Old Securities, provided that customary transfer requirements, including payment of any applicable transfer taxes, are fulfilled.

You shall accept partial tenders of Old Securities where so indicated and as permitted in the Letter of Transmittal and deliver certificates for Old Securities to the registrar for split-up and return any untendered Old Securities to the holder (or such other person as may be designated in the Letter of Transmittal) as promptly as practicable after expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

8. Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Exchange Offer, the Company will notify you (such notice, if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of its acceptance, promptly after the Expiration Date, of all Old Securities properly tendered and you, on behalf of the Company, will exchange such Old Securities for New Securities and cause such Old Securities to be cancelled. Delivery of New Securities will be made on behalf of the Company by you at the rate of $1,000 principal amount of New Securities for each $1,000 principal amount of the corresponding series of Old Securities tendered promptly after notice (such notice if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) of acceptance of said Old Securities by the Company; provided, however, that in all cases, Old Securities tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be exchanged only after timely receipt by you of certificates for such Old Securities (or confirmation of book-entry transfer into your account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility), a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents. You shall issue New Securities only in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

9. Tenders pursuant to the Exchange Offer are irrevocable, except that, subject to the terms and upon the conditions set forth in the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal, Old Securities tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date.

10. The Company shall not be required to exchange any Old Securities tendered if any of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer are not met. Notice of any decision by the Company not to exchange any Old Securities tendered shall be given (if given orally, to be promptly confirmed in writing) by the Company to you.

11. If, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Company does not accept for exchange all or part of the Old Securities tendered because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” or otherwise, you shall as soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer return those certificates for unaccepted Old Securities (or effect appropriate book-entry transfer), together with any related required documents and the Letters of Transmittal relating thereto that are in your possession, to the persons who deposited them.

12. All certificates for reissued Old Securities, unaccepted Old Securities or for New Securities shall be forwarded by first-class mail.

13. You are not authorized to pay or offer to pay any concessions, commissions or solicitation fees to any broker, dealer, bank or other persons or to engage or utilize any person to solicit tenders.

14. As Exchange Agent hereunder, you:

(a) shall not be liable for any action or omission to act unless the same constitutes your own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, and in no event shall you be liable to a securityholder, the Company or any third party for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits, arising in connection with this Agreement;

(b) shall have no duties or obligations other than those specifically set forth herein or as may be subsequently agreed to in writing between you and the Company;

(c) will be regarded as making no representations and having no responsibilities as to the validity, sufficiency, value or genuineness of any of the certificates or the Old Securities represented thereby deposited with you pursuant to the Exchange Offer, and will not be required to and will make no representation as to the validity, value or genuineness of the Exchange Offer;

(d) shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder which might in your judgment involve any expense or liability, unless you shall have been furnished with indemnity satisfactory to you;

(e) may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting in reliance upon any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter, telegram or other document or security delivered to you and believed by you to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons;

(f) may act upon any tender, statement, request, document, agreement, certificate or other instrument whatsoever not only as to its due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which you shall in good faith believe to be genuine or to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons;

(g) may conclusively rely on and shall be protected in acting upon written or oral instructions from any authorized officer of the Company;

(h) may consult with counsel of your selection with respect to any questions relating to your duties and responsibilities and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by you hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel;

(i) shall in no event be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of your obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond your reasonable control, including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services; and

(j) shall not advise any person tendering Old Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer as to the wisdom of making such tender or as to the market value or decline or appreciation in market value of any Old Securities.

15. You shall take such action as may from time to time be requested by the Company (and such other action as you may deem appropriate) to furnish copies of the Prospectus, Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (as defined in the Prospectus) or such other forms as may be approved from time to time by the Company, to all persons requesting such documents and to accept and comply with telephone requests for information relating to the Exchange Offer, provided that such information shall relate only to the procedures for accepting (or withdrawing from) the Exchange Offer. The Company will furnish you with copies of such documents at your request. All other requests for information relating to the Exchange Offer shall be directed to the Company, Attention: Paula Wardynski.

16. You shall advise by electronic mail transmission Paula Wardynski, of the Company, and such other person or persons as the Company may request, daily (and more frequently during the week immediately preceding the Expiration Date if requested) up to and including the Expiration Date, as to the number of Old Securities which have been tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and the items received by you pursuant to this Agreement, separately reporting and giving cumulative totals as to items properly received and items improperly received. In addition, you will also inform, and cooperate in making available to, the Company or any such other person or persons upon oral request made from time to time prior to the Expiration Date of such other information as they may reasonably request. Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, the granting by you to the Company and such person as the Company may request of access to those persons on your staff who are responsible for receiving tenders, in order to ensure that immediately prior to the Expiration Date the Company shall have received information in sufficient detail to enable it to decide whether to extend the Exchange Offer. You shall prepare a final list of all persons whose tenders were accepted, the aggregate principal amount of Old Securities tendered, the aggregate principal amount of Old Securities accepted and deliver said list to the Company.

17. Letters of Transmittal and Notices of Guaranteed Delivery shall be stamped by you as to the date and, after the expiration of the Exchange Offer, the time, of receipt thereof and shall be preserved by you for a period of time at least equal to the period of time you preserve other records pertaining to the transfer of securities. You shall dispose of unused Letters of Transmittal and other surplus materials by returning them to the Company.

18. For services rendered as Exchange Agent hereunder, you shall be entitled to such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and you. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

19. You hereby acknowledge receipt of the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal. Any inconsistency between this Agreement, on the one hand, and the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal (as they may be amended from time to time), on the other hand, shall be resolved in favor of the latter two documents, except with respect to your duties, liabilities and indemnification as Exchange Agent.

20. The Company covenants and agrees to fully indemnify and hold you harmless against any and all loss, liability, cost or expense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on your part, arising out of or in connection with any act, omission, delay or refusal made by you in reliance upon any signature, endorsement, assignment, certificate, order, request, notice, instruction or other instrument or document believed by you to be valid, genuine and sufficient and in accepting any tender or effecting any transfer of Old Securities believed by you in good faith to be authorized, and in delaying or refusing in good faith to accept any tenders or effect any transfer of Old Securities. In each case, the Company

shall be notified by you, by letter or facsimile transmission, of the written assertion of a claim against you or of any other action commenced against you, promptly after you shall have received any such written assertion or shall have been served with a summons in connection therewith. The Company shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such claim or other action and, if the Company so elects, the Company shall assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such claim. In the event that the Company shall assume the defense of any such suit, the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any additional counsel thereafter retained by you, so long as the Company shall retain counsel satisfactory to you to defend such suit, and so long as you have not determined, in your reasonable judgment, that a conflict of interest exists between you and the Company. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

21. You shall arrange to comply with all requirements under the tax laws of the United States, including those relating to missing Tax Identification Numbers, and shall file any appropriate reports with the Internal Revenue Service.

22. You shall deliver or cause to be delivered, in a timely manner to each governmental authority to which any transfer taxes are payable in respect of the exchange of Old Securities, the Company’s check in the amount of all transfer taxes so payable; provided, however, that you shall reimburse the Company for amounts refunded to you in respect of your payment of any such transfer taxes, at such time as such refund is received by you.

23. This Agreement and your appointment as Exchange Agent hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, and without regard to conflicts of law principles, and shall inure to the benefit of, and the obligations created hereby shall be binding upon, the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.

24. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

25. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

26. This Agreement shall not be deemed or construed to be modified, amended, rescinded, cancelled or waived, in whole or in part, except by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized representative of the party to be charged. This Agreement may not be modified orally.

27. Unless otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile or similar writing) and shall be given to such party, addressed to it, at its address or telecopy number set forth below:
