Empire Media Group, the new business of controversial media executive Dylan Howard, has announced the acquisition of Knewz from News Corporation.
Rupert Murdoch’s media giant launched Knewz, an aggregation site, as a potential rival to Google News in January 2020. It gave up on the venture in July this year.
Confirming reports from earlier this month, EMG today said it has acquired and relaunched the Knewz brand.
EMG, led by former America Media Inc boss Howard, has completed several digital acquisitions this year. In addition to Knewz, it publishes RadarOnline.com, OKmagazine.com and Front Page Detectives.
