NEWS CORPORATION PAC
The government plays a significant role in how our business operates. From online advertising to intellectual property protection, legislators at both the state and federal levels have proposed numerous changes in public policy in these areas 鈥� some of which would help our industry, and some of which would limit our ability to achieve our goals. 男同色情网 is active in the public policy process protecting the interests of our employees and stockholders. 男同色情网鈥檚 Political Action Committee (the 鈥溎型橥鴒ration PAC鈥�) is an integral component of our government relations strategy, which also includes participation in trade associations and direct lobbying. These three elements work together to carry our message to Congress and to state and local office holders. The 男同色情网oration PAC is a non-partisan political action committee. Its focus is helping to elect quality men and women, regardless of political party, who are dedicated to providing leadership in public service and promoting sound public policy. 男同色情网oration PAC is funded by voluntary contributions from eligible employees of the Company, and is used to make contributions at the federal level and in states where allowed.
