We have a responsibility to make sure our higher education system continues to meet our nation's needs for an educated and competitive workforce in the 21st century." –Secretary Margaret Spellings About the Commission Developing a National Strategy On September 19, 2005, United States Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings announced the establishment of A National Dialogue: The Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education. Its charge is to ensure that America’s system of higher education remains the finest in the world and continues to meet the needs of America’s diverse population by expanding opportunity, innovation, and economic growth. Composed of nineteen representatives from both public and private sectors as well as ex officio members from the Department of Education and other Federal agencies, the Commission will address vital questions such as: • How can we ensure that college is affordable and accessible? • How well are institutions of higher education preparing our students to compete in the new global economy? The Commission will submit a final report by August 1, 2006 to the Secretary.

A NATIONAL DIALOGUE: The Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education SUMMARY OF Meeting February 2, 2006 Strategies to keep the U.S. competitive in a global market while improving access, affordability, and accountability dominated the agenda of the February 2 hearing of A National Dialogue: The Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education. Innovation was the focus as the Commission, convening in San Diego, presented a public debate on America’s higher education system and the socio-economic factors impacting delivery and financing. A chief goal of the session was to examine new paradigms for educational delivery, particularly online and nontraditional programs that increase access to higher education and diversify student populations. Commission Chairman Charles Miller set the tone, alluding to the complex nature of the mission but vowing to produce a final report that features the best information available for practical use. Said Miller: “Rather than a research report, it will be the result of our combined intellectual capital. We’re encouraged to produce bold ideas. As those ideas surface, we will need to be bold.” Miller also welcomed new Commission Member Catherine B. Reynolds, Chairman and CEO of EduCap, Inc., and the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation. Acting Undersecretary of Education David Dunn briefed members on President Bush’s recent initiatives, including the $5.9 billion Competitive Initiative, which he said “anticipates doubling the federal commitment” for research and physical sciences over the next decade and encourages more private sector investment. The President also asked Congress to provide increased funding for the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Program to train 70,000 new teachers in advanced math, science and languages, Dunn said. Session 1—Task Force Updates • Accessibility: Commission Member David Ward, President of the American Council on Education, said growing access is bringing more economically challenged students into the system, creating a need for new sources and access to federal, state, institutional and private financial aid. Other key issues: Academic preparation for college and the growing numbers of adults turning to higher education to enhance job prospects or compete more effectively in existing vocations. • Affordability: Among general areas identified by Commission Member Richard Vedder, Distinguished Professor of Economics at Ohio University: performance levels and the lack of incentives for efficiency, productivity advancement, and cost control. He said the task force continues to pinpoint specific issues in these areas for inclusion in the final report. • Quality: Commission Member James J. Dunderstadt, Director of the Millennium Project at the University of Michigan, presented what he called a “blockbuster” goal: “That the nation should commit itself to a vision of providing all American citizens with universal access to lifelong learning opportunities, thereby creating the world’s most advanced knowledge society and providing for economic prosperity, national security and social well-being in a global economy.” Specifically, the task force recommendations will focus on enhancing public-private partnerships to improve quality performance and efficiency in post-secondary education; stimulate a more “innovative culture” in American higher education with new programs and activities; improve access by examining state and federal public subsidies, and increase federal support for R&D and graduate education to improve economic competitiveness and national security. SUMMARY 2 n SUMMARY RePORT FeBRuaRY 2-3, 2006 • Workforce: Commission Member Robert Mendenhall, Session 3—Innovative Financing: President of Western Governors University, offered this Examining the power of capital markets and bottom-line assessment: “The employers of today are implications for higher education. clearly looking for . a workforce that can be trained to evolve as the job evolves and as technology provides Mr. Trace Urdan, Senior Research Analyst with Robert W. different responsibilities in the workplace.” As life spans Baird & Company, said contemporary corporations value increase, he added, people might have a 50-year work not only financial assets but also intellectual capital. That life. Recommendations under review: Better collaboration shift is illustrated by current statistics that put skilled jobs between higher education, industry and government; at 65-75 percent of all employment and an increased more flexible financial support for licenses and credentials demand for educated workers who are computer literate, available outside a formal degree program; tax credit and critical thinkers, information analysts and understand incentive increases to low income citizens seeking higher the global marketplace. “Lifelong learning,” said Urdan, education; greater accountability from institutions to track “has gone from being a luxury to a necessity for both graduates in the labor market to ensure they are meeting employers and employees alike.” For-profit education workforce requirements, and development of state-by-state is now embedded

I now know what it is like to, you know, be a school superintendent and try to figure out whether schools are going to be open or not. I talked to Don late that night and we didn’t know whether it was going to snow, wasn’t going to snow the next day. We went back and forth and actually it didn’t snow at the time the event was held. But anyway, I apologize to those people who came.

  • 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.

Graham Chairman and Chief Executive Officer The Washington Post Company Annual Stockholders Meeting May 11, 2006 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. I want to welcome our shareholders to the Washington Post Company Meeting of Shareholders. All of us were glad to see you on Shareholders Day last September. Then we spent several hours focusing exclusively on the business operations of our company. Today we will have time for questions first on business, then on the editorial operations of the company. I’ll start with some remarks aimed at updating the information presented in our annual report. For years, I – and Kay Graham before me – have said that our company has a somewhat different orientation than other public companies. Almost every Post Company shareholder is familiar with this, but a few often uttered sentences are worth repeating. We want our stock to be a good investment for people who buy it and hold it for the long term. No one in management is lifting a finger to achieve certain results for any given quarter or, indeed, for any given year.

Poking our heads up from the rubble, we at The Washington Post Company would like to say: prospects look reasonably good going forward at our largest businesses, but 2009 will be another very rough year at the media companies.
