AllThingsD editors Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, who are leaving News Corp. at the end of the year, completed a deal with NBCUniversal for a news and conference business that will bring their current staff to a newly named website, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mossberg and Swisher will have majority control of the venture, with NBCUniversal and another unnamed investor together taking about a third of the business, according to one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is still private. The new business tentatively plans to announce the agreement on Jan. 2, they said.
