News Corporation is launching NewsCore, a global service that will make all its news stories and videos instantly available to its entire worldwide network of TV, print and online news outlets.

The service will operate like a global wire service. News Corp. describes the venture as a "21st-century multi-media information service." The company will now have "immediate access to news from a source we can trust -- us," says an internal briefing.

The NewsCore service will scan the company's electronic story queues, satellite feeds and websites and make all the content available to company newsrooms around the planet. NewsCore will distribute the content via text, video, audio and citizen journalism. The service is being based in New York and is hiring journalists for that city, as well as London and Asia.
