News Corp Bans Non-Essential Travel

News Corp has halted all nonessential business travel for its employees as of Friday due to concerns over the coronavirus outbreak, a spokesperson confirmed to CNBC.

“I can confirm that as of yesterday we have made the decision that all News Corp employees should avoid non-essential business travel until further notice,” the spokesperson said.

The New York-based media company, which owns The Wall Street Journal and HarperCollins Publishers, joins a growing list of U.S. companies that are restricting employee travel as the virus intensifies. News Corp had roughly 28,000 employees as of June 30, 2019, about 10,000 of whom were located in the U.S., according to data from Statista.
