The report covered The Associated Press and its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The scope of procedures used by Ernst & Young LLP in auditing the results of the Company’s worldwide operations was discussed.

Respectfully submitted, The Audit Committee DUNIA SHIVE GRACIA MARTORE RICH BOEHNE DAVID PAXTON WILLIAM O. NUTTING ROBIN MCKINNEY Dallas, Texas Gannett Co., Inc., The E.W. Scripps Paxton Media Group Ogden Newspapers MARTIN McClean, Va. Company The Paducah Sun The Journal The Santa Fe New Rochester Democrat Cincinnati, Ohio Paducah, Ky. Martinsburg, W.Va. Mexican and Chronicle The Commercial Appeal Santa Fe, N.M. Rochester, N.Y. Memphis, Tenn. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AUDIT COMMITTEE AND MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Associated Press and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in members’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management’s responsibility for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Associated Press and subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
