News Corp. struck an agreement with Meta under which it will receive up to $50 million annually in exchange for access to its news content and archives for AI model training and development.

This partnership underscores News Corp.’s shift toward monetizing its extensive digital content library by providing high-value data for AI applications, positioning the company to capitalize on the growing need for quality training material among technology firms.

While representing a modest percentage of News Corp.’s overall revenue, the predictable annual payments offer a recurring revenue stream that could partially offset declines in traditional print and advertising segments and enhance digital monetization efforts.
