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.

I have received several invoices for Smart Money magazine from Hearst Invoicing. I did not renew because the price increased. They indicate that I did and that I promised to pay later. Where do I register a complaint?

Hearst Corp. reported on April 24, 2009 that the media company cut 44 jobs at its Connecticut newspapers on Friday and plans to eliminate another 80 positions within three months as part of a consolidation and cost-cutting effort.

The affected employees met with management throughout the day. The rest of the workforce at Hearst’s four daily newspapers, the Connecticut Post, The Advocate of Stamford, Greenwich Time, The News-Times of Danbury and the six weeklies of the Brooks Community Newspaper group, was told of the plan in an e-mailed letter.

“Beginning today, we will take the first step toward structurally changing the cost base of our business to ensure its long-term viability,” Mark E. Aldam, senior vice president and group publisher of Hearst Newspapers, said in the letter.

Aldam cited the need to cut 20 percent of the Connecticut group’s costs as it deals with the fallout from the recession.
