COMPANY PROFILE Gannett Co., Inc. is a diversified news and information company that publishes newspapers, operates broadcasting stations and is engaged in marketing, commercial printing, a newswire service, data services and news programming. Gannett is an international company with headquarters in McLean, Va., and operations in 43 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Hong Kong. Gannett is the USA’s largest newspaper group in terms of circulation. The company’s 100 U.S. daily newspapers have a combined daily paid circulation of 7.6 million. They include USA TODAY, the nation’s largest-selling daily newspaper, with a circulation of approx- imately 2.2 million. In addition, Gannett owns a variety of non-daily publications and USA WEEKEND, a weekly newspaper magazine. Newsquest plc, a wholly owned Gannett subsidiary acquired in mid-1999, is one of the largest regional newspaper publishers in the United Kingdom with a portfolio of more than 300 titles. Its publications include 17 daily newspapers with a combined circulation of approximately 725,000. Newsquest also publishes a variety of non-daily publications, including Berrow’s Worcester Journal, the oldest continuously published newspaper in the world. Gannett owns and operates 22 television stations covering 17.8 percent of the USA. Gannett is an Internet leader with sites sponsored by most of its TV stations and newspapers, including USATODAY.com, one of the most popular news sites on the Web. Gannett was founded by Frank E. Gannett and associates in 1906 and incorporated in 1923. The company went public in 1967. Its more than 272 million outstanding shares of common stock are held by approximately 12,800 shareholders of record in all 50 states and several foreign countries. The company has approximately 53,000 employees. 1 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS annett once again demonstrated its strength in 2003. We showed our stamina, our staying power and the quality of our management in the face of yet another year of lackluster advertising demand and a Gtepid economy. We achieved record results: Operating revenues were $6.7 billion; net income rose 4 percent to a record $1.21 billion; operating cash flow advanced 3 percent to $2.2 billion. Diluted earnings per share, on a GAAP basis, were a record $4.46, compared with $4.31 for 2002. These terrific numbers are the result of hard work by Gannett employees. Gannett is a company that does well in good times, and really well in tough times. And 2003 was another tough year for the company, the industry and the nation. It was another chapter in the recession that wouldn’t end. There was the war in Iraq, which captured the nation’s attention and turned it away from a recovery early in the year. Our newspapers, television stations and Internet sites produced some of their best journalism during the intense combat period: We had more than 40 journalists in the region – 23 of them embedded with the troops. We won a number of awards and recognition in the industry. But the home front struggled to keep the economy going and advertising suffered. It is only just now recovering. As the worst of the fighting ended in the spring, we became hopeful that some long-sought changes in government regulations would help jump-start activity in the industry. In June, the Federal Communications Commission finally voted to change the rules that bar ownership of a newspaper and television station in the same market. We believe this rule change will allow us to compete even more effectively with the rest of the fast-paced and growing media world. Unfortunately, the changes were blocked almost immediately by court action and Congress. Acquisition discussions slowed and stopped. Douglas H. McCorkindale, Chairman, President and CEO 2 2003 Congress eventually blessed a partial change, allowing companies to own stations that cover up to 39 percent of the country. But the cross-ownership part of the rule remains on hold by the courts. In the end, we believe the courts will come to the right conclusion, permit cross-ownership and allow us to enter more markets and continue to expand our businesses. Then Congress enacted the Do Not Call Registry. This popular law impacted Gannett, since we tradition- ally have sold about half of our subscriptions through phone solicitation. But we responded in a classically Gannett way. We engaged our talent and creativity and devised new ways to appeal to subscribers. Among them: A pilot program underway in Jackson, Tenn., that took the all-out, “cold-turkey” approach – dropping all telemarketing efforts and seeking out other means of getting customers. Lessons learned are being offered throughout the Newspaper Division. Another change by Congress, to the campaign-finance rules, left parties and candidates confused about what spending they could and could not do.

TINGLEY Party factionalism, individual ambitions, and personal rivalries contributed in 1924 to a situation unique in South Dakota politics. The names of eight candidates vying for one seat in the United States Senate graced the November ballots. Beyond the multiplicity of candidates, the election contest was also marked by its longevity, an element aggravated by a complex primary system initiated by the Richards Primary Law of 1918. Under this law, the election process started on the second Tuesday of November in the preceding year so that almost twelve months passed before final office holders were elected. The 1924 election, therefore, started on 13 November 1923, when every precinct elected three proposalmen for each party. Besides selecting county candidates, these proposalmen also chose three of their number from the county to assemble with other county delegations on 4 December to propose candidates and prepare a state platform for their party. At this state meeting in Pierre, each delegate had the power to cast votes totaling one-third the number of votes cast in his county for the party's gubernatorial choice in the preceding election. Proposal- men who dissented from the majority nomination could file an alternate slate. Any additional nonconformists were required to file as independents, without majority or minority sponsorship but with individual petitions that had endorsements representing at least 1 percent of the total number of votes cast for the party's Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

A powerful expose. It is evident that a ton of tedious work went into this massive project. A provocative, infuriating look at greed and self-aggrandizement in NJ’s political underworld. Would have seen boxes splattered throughout the pages separately addressing how each different “sin” gave the politician and his family/business quality of life advantages the voter who put him in office doesn’t have, but is paying for, etc. i.e. several jobs adding up to bigger pensions and a cushy upcoming retirement. I’d title the boxes, “How does this make you feel?” Would like to have seen a chart of how all politicians cited in the series for their misdeeds made out in the election: did they win or lose? By how many votes? One was cited (Bennett’s race). Great job!

  • Scottsih Newspapers Have a Long Hisotry Fof Involvement With
    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.
