Norman Pearlstine, Chief Content Officer
Mandatory Credit: Bloomberg Politics and the Media Panel: Bridging the Political Divide in the 2012 Elections Breakfast NORMAN PEARLSTINE, CHIEF CONTENT OFFICER, BLOOMBERG, LP: Thank you very much to all of you for coming this afternoon for this panel discussion and welcome to the Bloomberg Link. This is a project that a number of my colleagues have been working very hard on to - to get in shape having had a similar facility in Tampa last week. And as Al Hunt is fond of reminding me, eight years ago, Bloomberg was sharing space as far away from the perimeter and I guess any press could be. I think sharing that space with Al Jazeera -- About four years ago, we certainly had a press presence in Denver and St. Paul, but this year, we're a whole lot more active and a lot more aggressive and I think that reflects all the things that Bloomberg has been doing to increase its presence in Washington where, in the last two years through an acquisition and a start up, we've gone from a 145 journalists working at Bloomberg News to close to 2,000 employees and that reflects in large part the acquisition of BNA last September but also the start up of Bloomberg Government, a web based subscription service. And so over the next few days, we welcome you to come back to the Bloomberg Link for a number of events and hopefully, you'll get a chance to meet a number of my colleagues in the process. I'm very happy that we are able to start our activities in Charlotte with this panel discussion today, not only because of the subject matter, which is so important to journalism and to politics, but also because, quite selfishly, it's given me a chance to partner with Jeff Cowan and Center for Communication Leadership and Policy in Los Angeles at Annenberg USC, which Jeff, I was happy to be a co-chair of your board so, it's good to be able to - each of us to convince the other we ought to do this. -
Tech Edit Spotlight: the Wall Street Journal May 2009
SWMS Editorial Teleconference Series: Tech Edit Spotlight: The Wall Street Journal May 2009 Well into its second year under the stewardship of News Corp., the Wall Street Journal remains an enigma. Its circulation has risen when virtually all competitors have retrenched. Most PR pros still view it as the place to be. But underneath the mighty brand, edit quality has slipped. Typos. Less thought leadership. Departures of key talent. But things could be worse. Iironically for those who feared the worst from Rupert Murdoch, only News Corp.’s deep pockets have kept the WSJ from the fiscal pain affecting every other newspaper in America. The WSJ remains the most powerful editorial brand there is. SWMS Webinar Link The Mission From a business standpoint, the WSJ cares about the collision of telecom- munications and computing as it affects society. And in The Journal’s esti- mation, society is all about markets. Retailing, customer service... technol- ogy, and particularly communications technologies have radically trans- formed every single business there is, which is why The Wall Street Journal cares about it. Kill The Times, Kill The Post, and don’t be boring. Write breaking news. Priority #1: Beat The New York Times. Priority #2: Marcus Brauchli and The Washington Post. Brauchli is a former Wall Street Jour- SWMS Teleconference nal managing editor. There seems to be a personal vendetta going on, not only to take down Links & Insight The New York Times, but Murdoch also intends to put pressure on The Washington Post as well by putting the resources in Washington D.C. -

THIS VERSION DOES NOT CONTAIN PAGE NUMBERS. PLEASE CONSULT THE PRINT OR ONLINE DATABASE VERSIONS FOR THE PROPER CITATION INFORMATION. NOTE TELEVISION A LA CARTE: AMERICAN BROADCASTING COS. V. AEREO AND HOW FEDERAL COURTS’ INTERPRETATIONS OF COPYRIGHT LAW ARE IMPACTING THE FUTURE OF THE MEDIUM Andrew Fraser I. INTRODUCTION Somewhere in Brooklyn, a large warehouse holds a bundle of over one thousand rabbit-ear antennas.1 In many ways these antennas resemble the ones that rested on top of generations of older television sets before the advent of cable, except for one small fact—these rabbit-ear antennas are each roughly the size of a dime.2 It is ironic that this ancient, seemingly outdated piece of television technology might signal the medium’s newest direction, but with Aereo at the helm, this may actually be the case. Aereo is a technology platform currently available exclusively in New York City that airs live broadcast television through the Internet to a subscriber’s mobile device, computer, or web-enabled television.3 When an Aereo subscriber wishes to watch a broadcast, he or she instructs an assigned Aereo antenna to capture signals from the public airwaves and to transmit them over the Internet to the subscriber’s mobile device.4 No two subscribers ever use the same antenna at the same time, and Aereo also offers DVR recording technology, so subscribers can watch shows live or recorded.5 With this incredible merging of both old and new technology, Aereo could have an enormous impact on the way consumers watch television, assuming that it can first survive what promise to be some intense legal challenges. -

Deutsche Bank Media & Telecommunications Conference
Deutsche Bank Media & Telecommunications Conference June 10, 2008 Remarks by Donald E. Graham Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer The Washington Post Company Deutsche Bank Media & Telecommunications Conference June 10, 2008 The presentation at this meeting contains certain forward-looking statements that are based largely on the Company’s current expectations. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. For more information about these forward-looking statements and related risks, please refer to the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” in Part 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the section titled “Risk Factors” under “Shareholders” on the Company’s website, www.washpostco.com. Whenever I talk to a group like this, I like to think of it as conveying to those of you who are, or may become, our shareholders the most important information since our 2007 annual report. To address our businesses by size: $/millions Q1 Q1 2007 2008 Revenue 248.0 294.6 19% Operating Income 36.2 44.2 22% Many of the largest elements of Kaplan are well positioned in a recession – many, but not all. On the positive side, both our college campuses and our online university are having very strong years. In the first quarter of 2008, Kaplan’s higher education revenues were up 19% and operating income was up 22%. To date, Kaplan Higher Education has not been significantly impacted by the recent tightening in the credit markets. -
