The relative success of WSJ.com in attracting paying customers is evidence that
business readers will purchase need-to-know information, but how much more
influential will Dow Jones content become, for example, if it is linked directly to our
television networks in India, Europe and elsewhere in the world? The partnership
permutations within our Company are limited only by our ambition and creativity,
with each medium able to drive traffic to other platforms and bring content of the
highest quality to ever larger audiences.
Even as we enjoyed financial success last fiscal
year, we did not forget that we also have great
responsibilities to the communities we serve.
In May, News Corporation announced one of
our boldest moves ever when we launched our
industry-leading Global Energy Initiative. Our
aim is to engage our audiences on the issue of climate change, and to transform
the way our Company uses energy. We will get our own house in order by making
our Company carbon neutral by 2010: reducing the amount of energy we use, using
renewable resources and energy wherever possible. By reducing our energy use – in
workplaces, in the production of our content, and in the packing material for our
products, for instance – we will spend less and make our contribution to help protect
the climate.
To News Corporation’s 53,000 employees, I close by saying thank you for your hard
work and relentless spirit of innovation. We are where we are today – atop the world
as one of the fastest growing, most exciting, and most successful media companies
– because of your efforts. And to our stockholders, I thank you for your support.
We have never made the mistake of celebrating present success at the expense
of future performance. We remain in relentless pursuit of new markets,
innovations and ideas to fuel our growth this year
and beyond.
