  • E.W. Scripps Company Expects Newspaper Spinoff to Retain Tax-Free Status in Journal Media Group Acquisition
    E.W. Scripps Company expects newspaper spinoff to retain tax-free status in Journal Media Group acquisition For immediate release Oct. 7, 2015 CINCINNATI – The E.W. Scripps Company (NYSE: SSP) expects the spinoff and merger of its newspaper operations with those of Journal Communications to remain tax free for Scripps and its shareholders if Journal Media Group (NYSE: JMG) is acquired by Gannett Company (NYSE: GCI). Gannett announced plans for the acquisition today. On April 1, Scripps and Journal Communications simultaneously spun off and merged their newspaper operations to form Journal Media Group in a transaction that was tax free for Scripps and its shareholders. At the time of this deal, Scripps and Journal Communications entered into a Tax Matters Agreement to address Scripps’ and Journal Media Group’s rights and obligations with respect to a number of matters, including any sale of Journal Media Group before the second anniversary of the closing of the deal. Under that agreement, Journal Media Group is required to provide Scripps with an unqualified opinion of tax counsel confirming that the tax-free status of the spin-off of Scripps newspapers will be preserved in the event of a sale of Journal Media Group. Scripps has received this tax opinion, which concludes that the sale of Journal Media Group will not result in the prior Scripps spinoff becoming taxable to Scripps or its shareholders. About Scripps The E.W. Scripps Company serves audiences and businesses through a growing portfolio of television, radio and digital media brands. Scripps is one of the nation’s largest independent TV station owners, with 33 television stations in 24 markets and a reach of nearly one in five U.S.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................
