Hearst Corporation



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.

Now that cannabis has been reclassified, does it remain legal to own the seeds?
A company are using our business address as a "return to sender" address, I suppose in an attempt to not get caught. We tried to take them to the Police Station in the Summer but they wouldn't take them because it was legal to own cannabis (marijuana) seeds.

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." - Albert Einstein !

What do you think ?

Hearst may have $1 billion to play with, the New York Post reported on Novemer 11, 2009:

"Hearst Corp., is sitting on a $1 billion war chest, insiders say -- one reason it has tapped an investment banker as its new chief financial officer.

Mitchell Scherzer, it was announced Monday, will replace Ronald Doerfler, who will stay on as senior vice president of finance and administration

The move is seen to signal a more aggressive acquisition strategy by company Chairman and CEO Frank Bennack, who wants to fulfill the Hearst family mandate to find new revenue streams in digital and non-traditional media. While its newspapers, including the San Francisco Chronicle, have had near-death experiences over the past year, Hearst's magazine wing has not been hit as hard as Time Inc. and Condé Nast.

While profits are believed to be off, Hearst is said to have revenues over $7 billion and to be profitable -- as well as debt-free."
