News Corp has sold struggling social networking site MySpace for $US35 million ($33.5 million), mostly in stock, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The deal values MySpace at a fraction of what News Corp paid for the site six years ago.
The sale to online advertising network operator Specific Media is expected to close later on Wednesday, a day before the end of News Corp’s fiscal year.
