"News Corporation is in the process of developing a policy for oversight and disclosure of political contributions that will be presented to the company's board of directors at an upcoming meeting, according to a shareholder that has publicly pressured News Corp. regarding the matter.

The Nathan Cummings Foundation -- a private foundation and News Corp. shareholder -- caused a stir at the company's annual meeting last October with its request that the board "disclose to shareholders the use of corporate assets for any and all political spending" in light of news reports at the time that News Corp. had donated $1 million each to the Republican Governors Association and the GOP-leaning Chamber of Commerce."
