Graham Holdings Company
Graham Holdings Company (formerly The Washington Post Company) is a diversified American conglomerate, best known for formerly owning the newspaper for which it was once named, ''The Washington Post'', and ''Newsweek''.
Its holdings include the online magazine ''Slate'', Graham Media Group (formerly Post-Newsweek Stations), a group of five large-market television stations, higher education company Kaplan, and Trove (formerly WaPo Labs)—the developers of a news reader app. Graham Holdings Company also owned cable television and internet service provider Cable One until it was spun off in 2015.
==Corporate history==
The history of Graham Holdings Company dates back to 1877, when the ''Post'' was first published. The Washington Post Company was incorporated in the District of Columbia in 1889,〔District of Columbia Corporation records show the original Washington Post Company (was registered as a domestic corporation in 1889 )〕 and remained a District of Columbia corporation until it changed its place of incorporation to Delaware in 2003.〔District of Columbia Corporation records show the original D.C.-based corporation's charter was revoked in 2003 and replaced by a (Delaware-based foreign corporation ).〕 It is a public company and its Class B common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol GHC; it went public in 1971.
Descendents of the late Eugene Meyer (including Chairman and CEO Donald E. Graham, his sister Lally Weymouth, and the beneficiaries of various family trusts) collectively control the company through their ownership of the unlisted Class A common stock that selects 70% of the company's board of directors. As of 2014, it forms more than 90% of the family's assets.〔 Prior to 2014, Berkshire Hathaway was a substantial holder of the public Class B common stock that selects 30% of the company's board of directors, but exchanged most of that stock for WPLG-TV, one of Graham Holdings' television stations, and other assets, in 2014.〔Graham Holdings: (2014 Annual Report ) (available (on GHCO.com ))〕
