New Media Completes the Acquisition of The New Media Completes the Acquisition of the Ohio Publishing Division of Wooster Republican Printing Company for $21.2 Million and Announces the Sale of the Medford, Oregon Mail Tribune for $15.0 Million NEW YORK, N.Y. January 31, 2017 – New Media Investment Group Inc. (“New Media” or the “Company”, NYSE: NEWM), one of the largest publishers of locally based print and online media in the United States as measured by number of publications, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of the Ohio publishing division of Wooster Republican Printing Company (“WRPC”), and concurrently announced the signing of a sale agreement for the Medford, Oregon Mail Tribune and related assets in separate transactions. Completed the acquisition of the publishing division of WRPC for $21.2 million, within New Media’s stated acquisition range of 3.5x – 4.5x LTM As Adjusted EBITDA. Announced the sale of the Medford, Oregon Mail Tribune and related assets for $15 million, or more than 7.0x 2016 As Adjusted EBITDA, which will result in an estimated 73% gain on the transaction. Rosebud Media, LLC is the acquirer. This sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2017. Wooster Republican Printing Company “New Media is pleased to announce both of these transactions today as both are in line with our goals of creating and maximizing value for our shareholders. We are honored that the Dix family, which owns WRPC, chose us as the future owner for their newspapers which are a great complement to our current footprint in northeastern Ohio,” said Michael E. Reed, New Media President and Chief Executive Officer. “For over a century, the Dix publications have served as the predominant source of local news for the communities in which they serve and we look forward to working with their employees to continue growing these community partnerships.” The publishing division of WRPC is comprised of five daily and 18 weekly publications across northeastern Ohio and has been privately owned and operated by the Dix family for over a century. Its daily papers include The Daily Record (22,540), the Record-Courier (15,626), The Alliance Review (10,450), the Times-Gazette (9,905), and The Daily Jeffersonian (11,150). In addition to the print publications, the acquisition includes a number of niche publications, websites and a commercial printing operation. Mail Tribune “While selling one of our businesses is never easy, the sale of the Mail Tribune represents our continued commitment to pursue strategic transactions that are in the best interest of New Media’s shareholders,” shared Mr. Reed. “First acquired in September 2013 as part of our Local Media Group transaction, the Mail Tribune continues to be a leading daily newspaper in southern Oregon and was recently awarded five first place recognitions from the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association. We are confident the newspaper will continue to produce in-depth and award-winning content under its new ownership. We would like to thank all the great employees at the Mail Tribune for all their great work during their time as part of our family. “Despite the strategic sale of the Mail Tribune, New Media remains a net acquirer of local media assets, having deployed over $120 million for acquisitions in 2016 and completing our first acquisition of 2017, as announced today. With a robust pipeline for potential future acquisitions, and an established track record of being disciplined buyers of local media assets, we remain confident in our ability to re-deploy the proceeds from the sale of the Mail Tribune within our stated goals for acquisitions.” The estimated gain on the transaction is based on internal estimates and management’s current expectations.

    68th IFLA Council and General Conference August 18-24, 2002 Code Number: 051-127-E Division Number: V Professional Group: Newspapers RT Joint Meeting with: - Meeting Number: 127 Simultaneous Interpretation: - Scottish Newspapers and Scottish National Identity in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries I.G.C. Hutchison University of Stirling Stirling, UK Abstract: Scotland is distinctive within the United Kingdom newspaper industry both because more people read papers and also because Scots overwhelmingly prefer to read home-produced organs. The London ‘national’ press titles have never managed to penetrate and dominate in Scotland to the preponderant extent that they have achieved in provincial England and Wales. This is true both of the market for daily and for Sunday papers. There is also a flourishing Scottish local weekly sector, with proportionately more titles than in England and a very healthy circulation total. Some of the reasons for this difference may be ascribed to the higher levels of education obtaining in Scotland. But the more influential factor is that Scotland has retained distinctive institutions, despite being part of Great Britain for almost exactly three hundred years. The state church, the education system and the law have not been assimilated to any significant amount with their counterparts south of the border. In the nineteenth century in particular, religious disputes in Scotland generated a huge amount of interest. Sport in Scotlaand, too, is emphatically not the same as in England, whether in terms of organisation or in relative popularity. Additionally, the menu of major political issues in Scotland often has been and is quite divergent from England – for instance, the land question and self-government.

NYNAME president Diane Lahr-Smith will begin the ceremony with the Advertising Awards. Thank you, Mary.
