The Hearst Corporation Company Profile
Like founder William Randolph Hearst's castle, The Hearst Corporation is sprawling. Through Hearst Newspapers, the company owns some 15 daily newspapers (such as the San Francisco Chronicle and the "Houston Chronicle") and 50 weekly newspapers. Its Hearst Magazines publishes some 20 US consumer magazines (Cosmopolitan, "Esquire") with nearly 200 international editions. Hearst has broadcasting operations through majority-owned Hearst Argyle Television. Its Hearst Entertainment & Syndication unit includes a syndication service (King Features), a newspaper production service (Reed Brennan), and stakes in cable networks (A&E, ESPN). The Hearst Corporation is owned by the Hearst family, but managed by a board of trustees.
