Strong book sales push News Corp profit above estimates

Along with from the Journal and the New York Post, News Corp’s properties include the Australian newspaper, book publishers HarperCollins and Harlequin Enterprises, stakes in Australian pay-TV and digital real estate businesses, and education company Amplify. Revenue from book publishing – which accounts for about 19 percent of total revenue – rose about 24 percent to $406 million in the first quarter, helped by higher book sales at its HarperCollins unit.
