Hearst Corporation profile and media properties
Frank A. Bennack, Jr. is the CEO of Hearst Corporation.
Hearst Corporation is a privately owned company controlled by the Hearst family trust. The trust is managed by a 13 member board of trustees, which includes five Hearst family members and eight others, most of them longtime former Hearst Corporation executives. George R. Hearst Jr., is the company chairman.
The Hearst family trust was formed by William Randolph Hearst, who died in 1951. He created the trust to give his heirs ownership of the company, but limit their say in its operation. The trust will dissolve and give the Hearsts direct control of the company upon the death of the last Hearst heir who was living in 1951.
Hearst publishes magazines and newspapers, and operates TV Stations. It owns 15 daily newspapers including the San Francisco Chronicle and the Houston Chronicle, and a range of magazines including Opera, Cosmopolitan and Esquire. The company holds stakes in cable networks including Lifetime and ESPN and operates iVillage, a women's web network.
In 2007, Hearst invested $288 million in the MediaNews Group, Inc., a struggling newspaper company.

Excellent blog! I genuinely love how it's easy on my eyes and also the details are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trick! Have a nice day! | |

Kuudos to Helen Thomas for having the courage to speak her mind. It is a sad state of affairs when the press squelches freedom of thought and speech, and not allow the American public to come to its own conclusions. | |

Helen Thomas has consistently used her journalist's privileges to speak truth to power. She consistently challeged the Bush/Cheney administration, while her colleagues in the Washington press corps passively propagated the administration's pro-war propaganda and class-war economic policies. Thomas is among the small company of contemporary American journalists who possess the democratic vision and integrity of Tom Paine, I.F. Stone, and Molly Ivins. Perhaps she deserves better than her association with the Hearst Corporation. I hope that Helen Thomas continues to work, and champion the best of America's small "d" democratic heritage. Thank you, Miss Thomas. | |

You go Helen!!! You spoke the truth In a sea of lies and deceits by the Zionist apologists in American. On behalf of the victim of the Israeli state of terror, I salute you. | |

I don't think Helen's comments were anti-Semitic at all, and I find it tragic that so many are interpreting it that way. I can see how they were shocking. | |

Love you Helen. You spoke the truth. It's time for Israel to recognize the Palestianians right to their land and either give them full democratic rights in Israel or allow them to organize a nation. During and after WWII the US and England did not want a major influx of Jews, so they backed the formation of an Israeli homeland in the Middle East. They could have just as easily provided a Jewish homeland in Europe carved out of Germany or Poland--or as Michael Chabon imagined in his novel, The Yiddish Policeman's Union, Alaska. | |

Hearst corporation should have armed guards on their property. Hell-in Tom-ass should also be guarded. Any sponor to the Hearst Corporation should also have armed guards. Jihad on Hearst and its sponsors. This corporation likes to murder people. Where is Manson? Living with Hell-in the Prune face Bitch. | |

Each news organization owned by Hearst should be Boycotted forthwith. For instance, I live in New England. I contact New England Cable News and advised them that I will contact local Jewish leaders and request that they inform their constituents not to watch NECN, except to monitor which companies advertise NECN. Any company advertising on NECN should also be boycotted. Helen Thomas is a vicious anti-semite whose Hitlerian suggestions offind the public conscience. Her apology is a joke and reveals that she has not abandoned her embrace of enthnic cleansing of Jews from the Middle East. Spread the word. Hearst and its sponsors must be boycotted right away. Start local. Contact your local leaders and target the local stations and businesses. if Hearst wants to employ vicious Hitlerian anti-semities, let it do so at its onw risk. | |

Had Helen Thomas said the same thing about blacks in the U.S. as she did about Jews in Israel, she'd be road-kill by Hearst! FIRE HER NOW for her ignorant and hateful bigotry against Jews and Israel! She is obviously so ignorant of history that she does not know Israel IS THE ORIGINAL HOME of the Jews!!! They are home Helen! | |
