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.

There are many of us who have come to realize that to criticize Israel makes one a racist, biased and antii-semetic, but to criticize alternative nations is allowed. Why is that the case? After a while you realize there is something wrong here.

There are many of us who have more respect for Helen Thomas and her true professionalism than for your media. I hope you find some integrity to honor Helen Thomas for her years of service.

My only regret is that she apologized.

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.
I consider Helen's comments to have been anti-Colonialism and anti-apartheid.
It is tragic that Palestinians are being made to pay for the sins of North Americans and Europeans who literally practiced anti-Semitism by turning Jews away while Palestinians largely welcomed them..
As Ilan Pappe points out in his book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine", while every large group that sees itself as a people has the right to national self-determination, they don't have the right to dispossess another group of its land to achieve it, as the Americans, Europeans and other who immigrated to Israel have done.
Yes, some Jews lived in Israel-Palestine for eons. But they were a minority. Years ago a rabbi I studied with pointed out how impossible it would be for the word of an infallible G-d to come through fallible humans untouched by human, experience, desire, thought, hope, etc. Claiming the land belongs to American or European Jews because G-d promised it, and using that to dispossess others of their home, homeland and lives is simply unacceptable.
Israeli scholar/author Shlomo Sand makes the point in his book "The Invention of the Jewish People" that the Palestinians are more closely linked genetically to the Jews of the Biblical-days Holy Land than are the current residents of Israel who hail from Brooklyn, NY or Europe.
I wish Helen's apology would be accepted and she given more opportunity to explain further what she meant. She has pushed for truth for the American people in a way too few reporters do nowadays.
I hope Helen's gaffe will be a catalyst for more people around the world to help Israel to end its colonialism and apartheid and bring equal rights, freedom and security to all people of Israel-Palestine.

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!
