So, I just found out that my favorite mag, Cosmopolitan, is owned by The Hearst Corporation. Not only is The Hearst Corporation one of the nation's largest diversified media companies, but it's major interest includes newpapers (San Francisco Chronicle), cable networks (ESPN, LifeTime, and The History Channel) , radio broadcasting (WTAE-TV-in Pittsburgh), and tons of other magazines (Esquire, RedBook, O Magazine, and Harper's Bizaar just to name a few).
Apparently The Hearst Corporation was founded by William Randolph Hearst 1800's (he was the son of a self-made millionaire George Hearst). Wow, that's a long way from the twenty first century. So, the current "COB" is a gentleman by the name of George R. Hearst, Jr. and there's a bunch of other trustees that follow the long list of corporate peoples.
There will be plenty more news, drama, and company information that I'll be digging up over the next few months...so here we go!
