we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will describe, among
other things, the specific amounts and prices of the securities being offered
and the terms of the offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>THE E.W. SCRIPPS COMPANY</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a diverse media concern with interests in newspapers, national
television networks (&#147;Scripps Networks&#148;), broadcast television stations and
television-retailing (&#147;Shop At Home&#148;). Under the trade name United Media, we
distribute news columns, comics and other features to newspapers and license
copyrights and trademarks for use on numerous products.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Newspapers</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate 21 daily newspapers in the U.S. Our newspapers earn revenue
primarily from the sale of advertising space to local and national advertisers
and from the sale of newspapers to readers. Four of our newspapers are
operated pursuant to the terms of joint operating agreements. Each of those
newspapers maintains an independent editorial operation and receives a share of
the operating profits of the combined newspaper operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Scripps Networks</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Scripps Networks includes four national television networks distributed by
cable and satellite television systems: Home &#038; Garden Television, Food
Network, DIY &#151; Do It Yourself Network and Fine Living. Scripps Networks also
includes our 12% interest in FOX Sports Net South, a regional television
network. We own approximately 70% of Food Network and approximately 90% of
Fine Living. Scripps Networks earns revenue primarily from the sale of
advertising time and from affiliate fees from cable and satellite television
systems.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Broadcast Television</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate 10 broadcast television stations. Each station is located in
one of the 60 largest television markets in the U.S. Nine of our television
stations are affiliated with national broadcast television networks. Six are
ABC affiliates and three are NBC affiliates. Our broadcast television stations
earn revenue primarily from the sale of advertising time to local and national
advertisers.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Shop At Home</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shop At Home markets a range of consumer goods to television viewers and
through its Internet site. In 2004, we acquired Summit America Television,
which owns and operates five television stations that exclusively broadcast
Shop At Home programming. Shop At Home programming is distributed under the
terms of affiliation agreements with broadcast television stations and cable
and satellite television systems. Substantially all of Shop At Home&#146;s revenues
are earned from the sale of merchandise.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>USE OF PROCEEDS</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company will not receive any proceeds from sales of the Shares made
from time to time hereunder by the Scripps Trust. The Scripps Trust will pay
all expenses in connection with the sale of the Shares being offered hereby.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>SCRIPPS TRUST</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Shares offered hereby are being sold by the Scripps Trust. The
Scripps Trust has provided the following information to the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has been advised that the Scripps Trust is selling the Shares
in order to diversify its assets. The Trustees of the Scripps Trust are Robert
P. Scripps, Jr., Edward W. Scripps and John H. Burlingame. Edward W. Scripps
and John H. Burlingame are directors of the Company. The Trustees have the
power to vote and dispose of the shares of capital stock of the Company held by
the Scripps Trust in accordance with the agreement dated November&nbsp;23, 1922
establishing the Scripps Trust (the &#147;Trust Agreement&#148;). Robert P. Scripps, Jr.
and Edward W. Scripps each has a life income interest in the Scripps Trust.
John H. Burlingame has no economic interest in the assets held by the Scripps
Trust.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Trust Agreement, the Scripps Trust must retain voting shares
sufficient to ensure control of the Company until the final distribution of the
Scripps Trust estate unless earlier stock dispositions are necessary for the
purpose of preventing loss or damage to the estate. Under a probate court
ruling obtained in 1998, the Scripps Trust is not required to hold a majority
of the outstanding Class&nbsp;A Common Shares or to hold a majority of the Company&#146;s
total number of outstanding shares (Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting
Shares combined).

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Scripps Trust will terminate upon the death of the last to survive of
two persons specified by the Trust Agreement, the younger of whom is 84&nbsp;years
of age. Upon the termination of the Scripps Trust, substantially all of its
assets (including all shares of capital stock of the Company held by the
Scripps Trust) will be distributed to the 28 grandchildren of Robert Paine
Scripps (a son of E.W. Scripps). Twenty-seven of these grandchildren have
entered into an agreement among themselves, other cousins and the Company which
will restrict transfer and govern voting of Common Voting Shares to be held by
them upon termination of the Scripps Trust and distribution of the Scripps
Trust estate. See &#147;Scripps Family Agreement.&#148; The Company has been advised
that no tax will be payable on the assets of the Scripps Trust upon
distribution thereof to the beneficiaries.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of June&nbsp;30, 2004, the Scripps Trust owned 22,096,111 or 35%, of the
outstanding Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and 16,040,000 or 87.3%, of the outstanding
Common Voting Shares, such shares together being 46.8% of the outstanding
capital stock of the Company. If the Scripps Trust sells all of the Shares,
following such sale the Scripps Trust would own 16,096,111, or 25.5%, of the
outstanding Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and 16,040,000, or 87.3%, of the outstanding
Common Voting Shares, which together would constitute 39.4% of the outstanding
capital stock of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Scripps Trust sells all of the Shares, the Scripps Trust&#146;s
continued ownership of Common Voting Shares will enable it to elect two-thirds
of the Company&#146;s directors, and its ownership of approximately 25.5% of the
outstanding Class&nbsp;A Common Shares may, as a practical matter, enable it to
continue to elect the remainder of the Company&#146;s directors. Nominations of
persons for election by each class of shares of the Company to the Board of
Directors are made, and will continue to be made after the offering of the
Shares, by the vote of a majority of all directors then in office, regardless
of the class of shares entitled to elect them.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So long as the Scripps Trust owns a majority of the Common Voting Shares,
it will be able to, under most circumstances, amend the Company&#146;s Articles of
Incorporation and effect any fundamental corporate transaction without the
approval of any other of the Company&#146;s shareholders and will be able to defeat
any unsolicited attempt to acquire control of the Company. The concentration
of voting power in the Scripps Trust and the limited voting rights of holders
of Class&nbsp;A Common Shares may have the effect of precluding holders of Class&nbsp;A
Common Shares from receiving any premium above market price for their shares
which may be offered in connection with any attempt to acquire control of the
Company.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>SCRIPPS FAMILY AGREEMENT</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>General</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company and certain persons and trusts are parties to an agreement
(the &#147;Scripps Family Agreement&#148;) restricting the transfer and governing the
voting of Common Voting Shares that such persons and trusts may acquire or own
at or after the termination of the Scripps Trust. Such persons and trusts (the
&#147;Signatories&#148;) consist of certain grandchildren of Robert Paine Scripps who are
beneficiaries of the Scripps Trust, descendants of John P. Scripps, and certain
trusts of which descendants of John P. Scripps are trustees and beneficiaries.
Robert Paine Scripps was a son of the founder of the Company. John P. Scripps
was a grandson of the founder of the Company and a nephew of Robert Paine
Scripps.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Scripps Trust were to have terminated as of June&nbsp;30, 2004, the
Signatories would have held in the aggregate approximately 93.4% of the
outstanding Common Voting Shares as of such date.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once effective, the provisions restricting transfer of Common Voting
Shares under the Scripps Family Agreement will continue until twenty-one years
after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Robert Paine Scripps
and John P. Scripps alive when the Scripps Trust terminates. The provisions of
the Scripps Family Agreement governing the voting of Common Voting Shares will
be effective for a ten year period after termination of the Scripps Trust and
may be renewed for additional ten year periods pursuant to Ohio law and certain
provisions set forth in the Scripps Family Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Transfer Restrictions</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Signatory will be able to dispose of any Common Voting Shares (except
as otherwise summarized below) without first giving other Signatories and the
Company the opportunity to purchase such shares. Signatories will not be able
to convert Common Voting Shares into Class&nbsp;A Common Shares except for a limited
period of time after giving other Signatories and the Company the aforesaid
opportunity to purchase and except in certain other limited circumstances.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Signatories will be permitted to transfer Common Voting Shares to their
lineal descendants or trusts for the benefit of such descendants, or to any
trust for the benefit of such a descendant, or to any trust for the benefit of
the spouse of such descendant or any other person or entity. Descendants to
whom such shares are sold or transferred outright, and trustees of

<P align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt">trusts into which such shares are transferred, must become parties to the
Scripps Family Agreement or such shares shall be deemed to be offered for sale
pursuant to the Scripps Family Agreement. Signatories will also be permitted
to transfer Common Voting Shares by testamentary transfer to their spouses
provided such shares are converted to Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and to pledge such
shares as collateral security provided that the pledgee agrees to be bound by
the terms of the Scripps Family Agreement. If title to any such shares subject
to any trust is transferred to anyone other than a descendant of Robert Paine
Scripps or John P. Scripps, or if a person who is a descendant of Robert Paine
Scripps or John P. Scripps acquires outright any such shares held in trust but
is not or does not become a party to the Scripps Family Agreement, such shares
shall be deemed to be offered for sale pursuant to the Scripps Family
Agreement. Any valid transfer of Common Voting Shares made by Signatories
without compliance with the Scripps Family Agreement will result in automatic
conversion of such shares to Class&nbsp;A Common Shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Voting Provisions</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Scripps Family Agreement provides that the Company will call a meeting
of the Signatories prior to each annual or special meeting of the shareholders
of the Company held after termination of the Scripps Trust (each such meeting
hereinafter referred to as a &#147;Required Meeting&#148;). At each Required Meeting,
the Company will submit for decision by the Signatories, each matter, including
election of directors, that the Company will submit to its shareholders at the
annual meeting or special meeting with respect to which the Required Meeting
has been called. Each Signatory will be entitled, either in person or by
proxy, to cast one vote for each Common Voting Share owned of record or
beneficially by him on each matter brought before the meeting. Each Signatory
will be bound by the decision reached with respect to each matter brought
before such meeting, and, at the related meeting of the shareholders of the
Company, will vote his Common Voting Shares in accordance with decisions
reached at the meeting of the Signatories.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summary description of the Company&#146;s capital stock does not
purport to be complete and is qualified entirely by reference to the Articles
of Incorporation and Code of Regulations of the Company, which are incorporated
by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 240&nbsp;million Class
A Common Shares, 60&nbsp;million Common Voting Shares and 25&nbsp;million Preferred
Shares. As of June&nbsp;30, 2004, 63,123,988 Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and 18,369,113
Common Voting Shares were outstanding. No Preferred Shares are outstanding.
Except in connection with stock splits, stock dividends or similar
transactions, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company prohibit the
issuance of additional Common Voting Shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Voting Rights</I></B><I>. </I>Holders of Class&nbsp;A Common Shares are entitled to elect the
greater of three or one-third of the directors of the Company (or the nearest
smaller whole number if one-third of the entire Board is not a whole number),
except directors, if any, to be elected by holders of Preferred Shares or any
series thereof. Holders of Common Voting Shares are entitled to elect all
remaining directors and to vote on all other matters. Nominations of persons
for election by either class of shares to the Board are made by the vote of a
majority of all directors then in office, regardless of the class of shares
entitled to elect them. Holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Voting
Shares have the right to increase or decrease the number of authorized and
unissued Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares, but not below the
number of shares thereof then outstanding. The Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common Shares
and Common Voting Shares do not have cumulative voting rights.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Holders of Class&nbsp;A Common Shares are not entitled to vote on any other
matters except as required by the Ohio General Corporation Law (&#147;Ohio Law&#148;).
Under Ohio Law, an amendment to a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation that
purports to do any of the following would require the approval of the holders
of each class of capital stock affected: (i)&nbsp;increase or decrease the par
value of the issued shares of such class (or of any other class of capital
stock of the corporation, if the amendment would reduce or eliminate the stated
capital of the corporation), (ii)&nbsp;change issued shares of a class into a lesser
number of shares or into the same or a different number of shares of any class
theretofore or then authorized (or so change any other class of capital stock
of the corporation if the amendment would reduce or eliminate the stated
capital of the corporation), (iii)&nbsp;change the express terms of, or add express
terms to, the shares of a class in any manner substantially prejudicial to the
holders of such class, (iv)&nbsp;change the express terms of issued shares of any
class senior to the particular class in any manner substantially prejudicial to
the holders of such junior class, (v)&nbsp;authorize shares of another class that
are convertible into, or authorize the conversion of shares of another class
into, such class, or authorize the directors to fix or alter conversion rights
of shares of another class that are convertible into such class, (vi)&nbsp;provide
that the stated capital of the

described in clause (i)&nbsp;or (ii)&nbsp;above, or provide, in the case of an amendment
described in clause (v)&nbsp;above, that the stated capital of the corporation shall
be reduced or eliminated upon the exercise of such conversion rights, (vii)
change substantially the purpose of the corporation, or provide that thereafter
an amendment to the corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation may be adopted that
changes substantially the purposes of the corporation, or (viii)&nbsp;change the
corporation into a nonprofit corporation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The holders of Common Voting Shares have the power to defeat any attempt
to acquire control of the Company with a view to effecting a merger, sale of
assets or similar transaction even though such a change in control may be
favored by shareholders holding substantially more than a majority of the
Company&#146;s outstanding equity. This may have the effect of precluding holders
of shares in the Company from receiving any premium above market price for
their shares which may be offered in connection with any such attempt to
acquire control.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s voting structure, which is similar to voting structures
adopted by a number of other media companies, is designed to promote the
continued independence and integrity of the Company&#146;s media operations under
the control of the holders of Common Voting Shares while at the same time
providing for equity ownership in the Company by a broader group of
shareholders through the means of a class of publicly traded common shares.
This structure may render more difficult certain unsolicited or hostile
attempts to take over the Company which could disrupt the Company, divert the
attention of its directors, officers and employees and adversely affect the
independence and quality of its media operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Dividend Rights</I></B><I>. </I>Each Class&nbsp;A Common Share is entitled to dividends if,
as and when dividends are declared by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Dividends must be paid on the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares at
any time that dividends are paid on either. Any dividend declared and payable
in cash, capital stock of the Company (other than Class&nbsp;A Common Shares or
Common Voting Shares) or other property must be paid equally, share for share,
on the Common Voting Shares and the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. Dividends and
distributions payable in Common Voting Shares may be paid only on Common Voting
Shares, and dividends and distributions payable in Class&nbsp;A Common Shares may be
paid only on Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. If a dividend or distribution payable in
the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares is made on Class&nbsp;A Common Shares, a simultaneous
dividend or distribution in the Common Voting Shares must be paid on the Common
Voting Shares. If a dividend or distribution payable in Common Voting Shares
is made on the Common Voting Shares, a simultaneous dividend or distribution in
Class&nbsp;A Common Shares must be made on the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares. Pursuant to
any such dividend or distribution, each Common Voting Share will receive a
number of Common Voting Shares equal to the number of Class&nbsp;A Common Shares
payable on each Class&nbsp;A Common Share. In the case of any dividend or other
distribution payable in stock of any corporation which just prior to the time
of the distribution is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and which
possesses authority to issue class A common shares and common voting shares
with voting characteristics identical to those of the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common
Shares and Common Voting Shares, respectively, including a distribution
pursuant to a stock dividend, a stock split or division of stock or a spin-off
or split-up reorganization of the Company, only class A common shares of such
subsidiary will be distributed with respect to the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common
Shares and only common voting shares of such subsidiary will be distributed
with respect to the Company&#146;s Common Voting Shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Conversion</I></B>. Each Common Voting Share is convertible at any time, at the
option of and without cost to its holder, into one Class&nbsp;A Common Share.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Liquidation Rights</I></B>. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, holders of Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting
Shares will be entitled to participate equally, share for share, in the assets
available for distribution.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Preemptive Rights</I></B>. Holders of Class&nbsp;A Common Shares do not have
preemptive rights to purchase shares of such stock or shares of stock of any
other class that the Company may issue. Holders of Common Voting Shares have
preemptive rights to purchase any additional Common Voting Shares or any other
stock with or convertible into stock with general voting rights issued by the
Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Preferred Shares</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No Preferred Shares are outstanding. The Board of Directors is authorized
to issue, by resolution and without any action by shareholders, up to 25
million Preferred Shares. All Preferred Shares will be of equal rank.
Dividends on Preferred Shares will be cumulative and will have a preference to
the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares. So long as any Preferred
Shares are outstanding, no dividends may be paid on, and the Company may not
redeem or retire, any common shares or other securities ranking junior to the
Preferred Shares unless all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred
Shares shall have been paid. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Company, the

<P align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt">Company&#146;s Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, before any amounts are
paid or distributed in respect of any securities junior to the Preferred
Shares, the amount fixed by the Board of Directors as a liquidation preference,
plus the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Preferred Shares have
no voting rights except as may be required by Ohio Law. See &#147;Description of
Capital Stock &#150; Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares &#150; Voting Rights&#148;
for those amendments to the Articles that would require a vote of the holders
of the Preferred Shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except as specifically described in this section, the Board of Directors
will have the power to establish the designations, dividend rate, conversion
rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference, sinking fund terms and all
other preferences and rights of any series of Preferred Shares. The issuance
of Preferred Shares may adversely affect certain rights of the holders of Class
A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares and may render more difficult certain
unsolicited or hostile attempts to take over the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Evaluation of Tender Offers and Similar Transactions</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of
Directors, when evaluating any offer of another party to make a tender or
exchange offer for any equity security of the Company, or any proposal to merge
or consolidate the Company with another company, or to purchase or otherwise
acquire all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company, must
give due consideration to the effect of such a transaction on the integrity,
character and quality of the Company&#146;s operations, as well as to all other
relevant factors, including the long-term and short-term interests of the
Company and its shareholders, and the social, legal and economic effects on
employees, customers, suppliers and creditors and on the communities and
geographical areas in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate or are
located, and on any of the businesses and properties of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries. This provision may have the effect of rendering more
difficult or discouraging an acquisition of the Company that is deemed
undesirable by the Board of Directors.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Compliance with FCC Regulations</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation authorize it to obtain information
from shareholders and persons seeking to have shares of the Company&#146;s capital
stock transferred to them, in order to ascertain whether ownership of, or
exercise of rights with respect to, the Company&#146;s shares by such persons would
violate federal communications laws. If any person refuses to provide such
information or the Company concludes that such ownership or exercise of such
rights would result in the violation of applicable federal communications laws,
the Company may refuse to transfer shares to such person or refuse to allow him
to exercise any rights with respect to the Company&#146;s shares if exercise thereof
would result in such a violation.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Certain Ohio Anti-Takeover Laws</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain Ohio anti-takeover laws may have the effect of discouraging or
rendering more difficult an unsolicited acquisition of a corporation or its
capital stock to the extent the corporation is subject to such provisions. The
articles of incorporation of a corporation may provide that any one or more of
these provisions of Ohio Law will not apply to the corporation. The Articles of
Incorporation of the Company provide that none of these provisions apply to the
Company except the tender offer statute.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Business Combinations with Interested Shareholders</I></B>. Chapter&nbsp;1704 of the
Ohio Law applies to a broad range of business combinations between an Ohio
corporation and an &#147;interested shareholder.&#148; Chapter&nbsp;1704 is triggered by the
acquisition of 10% of the voting power of a subject Ohio corporation. The
prohibition imposed by Chapter&nbsp;1704 continues indefinitely after the initial
three-year period unless the subject transaction is approved by the requisite
vote of the shareholders or satisfies statutory conditions relating to the
fairness of consideration received by shareholders who are not interested in
the subject transaction. During the initial three-year period the prohibition
is absolute absent prior approval by the board of directors of the acquisition
of voting power by which a person became an &#147;interested shareholder&#148; or of the
subject transaction. The Company has made Chapter&nbsp;1704 inapplicable to it by so
providing in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Control Share Acquisition</I></B><I>. </I>Section&nbsp;1701.831 of the Ohio Law (the &#147;Ohio
Control Share Acquisition Statute&#148;) provides that certain notice and
informational filings and special shareholder meeting and voting procedures
must be followed prior to consummation of a proposed &#147;control share
acquisition,&#148; which is defined as any acquisition of an issuer&#146;s shares which
would entitle the acquiror, immediately after such acquisition, directly or
indirectly, to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power of the issuer in
the election of directors within any of the following ranges of such voting
power: (i)&nbsp;one-fifth or more but less than one-third of such voting power, (ii)
one-third or more but less than a majority of such voting power, or (iii)&nbsp;a
majority or more of such voting power. Assuming compliance with the notice and
information filings prescribed by statute, the proposed control share
acquisition may be made only if, at a duly convened special meeting of

<P align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt">shareholders, the acquisition is approved by both a majority of the voting
power of the issuer represented at the meeting and a majority of the voting
power remaining after excluding the combined voting power of the intended
acquiror and the directors and officers of the issuer. The Company has made the
Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute inapplicable to it by so providing in
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Ohio &#147;Anti-Greenmail&#148; Statute</I></B><I>. </I>Pursuant to Ohio Law Section&nbsp;1707.043, a
public corporation formed in Ohio may recover profits that a shareholder makes
from the sale of the corporation&#146;s securities within 18&nbsp;months after making a
proposal to acquire control or publicly disclosing the possibility of a
proposal to acquire control. The corporation may not, however, recover from a
person who proves either (i)&nbsp;that his sole purpose in making the proposal was
to succeed in acquiring control of the corporation and there were reasonable
grounds to believe that he would acquire control of the corporation or (ii)
that his purpose was not to increase any profit or decrease any loss in the
stock. Also, before the corporation may obtain any recovery, the aggregate
amount of the profit realized by such person must exceed $250,000. Any
shareholder may bring an action on behalf of the corporation if a corporation
refuses to bring an action to recover these profits. The party bringing such an
action may recover his attorneys&#146; fees with the permission of the court having
jurisdiction over such action. The Articles of Incorporation of the Company
provide that this statute does not apply to the Company.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B><I>Tender Offer Statute</I></B>. The Ohio tender offer statute (Ohio Law Section
1707.041) requires any person making a tender offer for a corporation having
its principal place of business in Ohio to comply with certain filing,
disclosure and procedural requirements. The disclosure requirements include a
statement of any plans or proposals that the offeror, upon gaining control, may
have to liquidate the subject company, sell its assets, effect a merger or
consolidation of it, establish, terminate, convert, or amend employee benefit
plans, close any plant or facility of the subject company or of any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, or make any other major change in its business,
corporate structure, management personnel, or policies of employment.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Registrar and Transfer Agent</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The registrar and transfer agent for the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common Shares
is Wachovia Bank, N.A., Charlotte, North Carolina.


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Scripps Trust may, from time to time, sell all or part of the Shares,
on terms determined at the time such Shares are offered for sale, to or through
underwriters, directly to other purchasers or broker-dealers, or through
dealers or other persons acting as agents, or through a combination of such
methods. The names of any underwriters, dealers, broker-dealers or other
persons acting as agents involved in the sale of the Shares and the
compensation of such persons will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus
supplement. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
Shares by the Scripps Trust.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The distribution of the Shares may be effected from time to time in one or
more transactions at a fixed price or prices (which may be changed), at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing
market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such underwritten offering may be
on a &#147;best efforts&#148; or a &#147;firm commitment&#148; basis.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the sale of Shares, underwriters may receive
compensation from the Scripps Trust or from the purchasers of Shares for whom
they may act as agents, in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.
Underwriters may sell Shares to or through agents or dealers, and such agents
and dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or
commissions from the Underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom
they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the
distribution of Shares may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or
commissions received by them from the Scripps Trust and any profit on the
resale of Shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions, under the Securities Act. Any such compensation received from the
Scripps Trust will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because the Scripps Trust may be deemed to be an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the
meaning of Section&nbsp;2(11) of the Securities Act, the Scripps Trust will be
subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which
may include delivery through the facilities of the NYSE pursuant to Rule&nbsp;153
under the Securities Act. The Company has informed the Scripps Trust that the
anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation&nbsp;M promulgated under the Exchange Act
may apply to their sales in the market.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The sale of Shares by the Scripps Trust also may be effected from time to
time by selling Shares directly to purchasers or to or through broker-dealers.
In connection with any such sale, any such broker-dealer may act as agent for
the Scripps Trust or may purchase from the Scripps Trust all or a portion of
the Shares as principal, and may be made pursuant to

other exchanges on which the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common Shares are then traded,
in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through put or call
options transactions relating to the Shares, through short sales of Shares, or
otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the
then-current market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Shares also may be sold in one or more of the following transactions:
(i)&nbsp;block transactions in which a broker-dealer may sell all or a portion of
such shares as agent but may position and resell all or a portion of the block
as principal to facilitate the transaction; (ii)&nbsp;purchases by any such
broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account
pursuant to a prospectus supplement; (iii)&nbsp;a special offering, an exchange
distribution or a secondary distribution in accordance with applicable NYSE or
other stock exchange rules; (iv)&nbsp;ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which any such broker-dealer solicits purchasers; (v)&nbsp;sales &#147;at
the market&#148; to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on
an exchange or otherwise, for such shares; and (vi)&nbsp;sales in other ways not
involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales
to purchasers. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Scripps Trust
may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers will
receive commissions or other compensation in the form of discounts or
concessions from the Scripps Trust in amounts to be negotiated immediately
prior to the sale. Broker-dealers may also receive compensation from purchasers
of the Shares.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Scripps Trust also may resell all or a portion of the Shares in open
market transactions in reliance upon Rule&nbsp;144 under the Securities Act,
provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such Rule.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if
applicable, the Shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers. In addition, in certain states, Shares may not be sold unless they
have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
such registration or qualification requirement is available and is satisfied.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Underwriters, dealers, broker-dealers and other persons acting as agents
may be entitled, under agreements which may be entered into by us and the
Scripps Trust, to indemnification or contribution by us and the Scripps Trust
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act. Such underwriters, dealers, broker-dealers and agents may be customers of,
engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or the Scripps Trust in
the ordinary course of business.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters,
dealers, broker-dealers or other persons acting as agents may be authorized to
solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase Shares pursuant to contracts
providing for payment and delivery on a future date. Such contracts may be made
with commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds,
investment companies, educational and charitable institutions, and other
institutions, but in all cases such institutions must be approved by the
Scripps Trust. The obligations of any purchaser under any such contract will
not be subject to any conditions except that (a)&nbsp;the purchase of the Shares
shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the
jurisdiction to which such purchaser is subject and (b)&nbsp;if the Shares are also
being sold to underwriters, the Scripps Trust shall have sold to such
underwriters the Shares not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters,
dealers, broker-dealers and other persons acting as agents will not have any
responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of such contracts.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All expenses incident to the offering and sale of the Shares will be paid
by the Scripps Trust.

policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company hereby undertakes that:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of a
registration statement in reliance upon Rule&nbsp;430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1)&nbsp;or (4)&nbsp;or 497(h)
under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of the registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
