Media Business Expansion: MI Company and Associated Companies to Join Holdings Firm (MI Company)

News Corporation News & Co. Ltd. (Headquartered in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward, President: Mimasu Mayuko) has announced its plans to invest in and collaborate with two affiliated companies, MI Company (Headquartered in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward, President: Imada Sosei) and its subsidiaries, Media Japan and Info Barren. As artificial intelligence continues to permeate modern information environments and user consumption patterns become increasingly complex, communication methods between people and businesses are undergoing significant transformation.

In the media industry, the proliferation of diverse platforms, users, and a globalized flow of information makes it challenging to rely solely on traditional business models. Since its establishment in 2001, the company has adhered to the principles of "reliability" and "fairness" to deliver reliable, trustworthy information about Japan to a global audience.

The group's media outlet, The Japan Times, is a prominent English-language media representative of Japan, known for its strong global communication and unique network. To strengthen the vision of media business expansion utilizing AI and other technologies, the company has decided to collaborate with MI Company and its associated companies, Media Japan and Info Barren. This strategic partnership aims to drive further business growth and achieve their vision.
