convenient services are set forth on the enclosed proxy card. Of
course, you may still vote your shares by marking your vote on
the enclosed proxy card, signing, dating it and mailing it in
the envelope provided. Returning your executed proxy card, or
voting your shares using the toll-free number or the Internet,
will not affect your right to attend the meeting and vote your
shares in person.

committee. Mrs.&nbsp;Scagliotti was a member of the audit
committee, but resigned effective October&nbsp;27, 2004 and took

Among other things, the audit committee appoints the independent
auditors each year, reviews the audit plans of both the internal
and independent auditors, evaluates the adequacy of and monitors
compliance with corporate accounting policies, and reviews the
Company&#146;s annual and quarterly financial statements. The
internal and independent auditors have unrestricted access to
the audit committee. The committee meets privately with each of
the independent auditors, the internal auditors and management.
The committee&#146;s charter is available for review on the

<I>Nominating&nbsp;&#38; Governance Committee.</I> John H.
Burlingame (chairman), William R. Burleigh, Nicholas B.
Paumgarten, Nackey E. Scagliotti and Julie A. Wrigley are the
members of the nominating&nbsp;&#38; governance committee. The
purpose of the committee is to review the size and composition
of the board, to recommend nominees to the board of directors,
to formulate policies of board conduct and to insure that the
board adopts appropriate corporate governance standards. The
committee&#146;s charter is available for review on the
Company&#146;s Web site. The Edward W. Scripps Trust holds a
majority of the Company&#146;s Common Voting Shares, which
qualifies the company as a &#147;controlled&#148; company as
defined by Section&nbsp;303A of the listing standards of the New
York Stock Exchange. As such, the Company could avail itself of
an exemption such status affords it from compliance with the
Exchange&#146;s requirements to have a majority of independent
directors and an independent nominating and corporate governance
committee and an independent compensation committee. The board
of directors has determined that a majority of its board of
directors is independent. When selecting new director nominees,
the committee considers any requirements of applicable law or
listing standards, as well as a candidate&#146;s strength of
character, judgment, business experience, specific areas of
expertise, factors relating to the composition of the board
(including its size and structure) and principles of diversity.
The committee will review any candidate recommended by the
shareholders of the Company in light of the committee&#146;s
criteria for selection of new directors. If a shareholder wishes
to recommend a candidate, he or she should send his or her
recommendation, with a description of the candidate&#146;s
qualifications, to: Chairman, Nominating&nbsp;&#38;

Since 2001, directors who are not employees of the Company have
received an annual fee of $35,000 and an additional $2,000 for
each board of directors meeting they attended. Effective
January&nbsp;1, 2005, this annual fee was increased to $40,000
and the per meeting fee was increased to $2,500. The only other
increase in board fees in 2005 was an increase in the per
meeting fee paid to members of the audit committee. That fee
increased from $2,000 to $2,500&nbsp;per meeting. A summary of
all fees paid to non-employee directors follows. Directors who
are employees of the Company do not receive any compensation for
services as directors or committee members.

    voting shares sufficient to ensure control of the Company until
    the final distribution of the Trust estate unless earlier stock
    dispositions are necessary for the purpose of preventing loss or
    damage to such estate. The trustees of the Trust are John H.
    Burlingame, Edward W. Scripps and Nackey Scagliotti. The Trust
    will terminate upon the death of the last to survive of two
    persons specified in the Trust, the younger of whom is
    85&nbsp;years of age. Upon the termination of the Trust,
    substantially all of its assets (including all shares of capital
    stock of the Company held by the Trust) will be distributed to
    the grandchildren of Robert Paine Scripps (a son of Edward W.
    Scripps), of whom there are 28. Certain 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 board of directors is committed to good corporate
governance, good business practice and transparency in financial
reporting. The nominating&nbsp;&#38; governance committee
annually reviews the Company&#146;s corporate governance

nominating&nbsp;&#38; governance committees. The committee
charters comply with the governance provisions of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the listing requirements of the
New York Stock Exchange. The governance principles and committee
charters are available for review at www.scripps.com and are

The Company has in place a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
for Financial Executives, which is available for review on the

mechanisms.

The Company&#146;s Statement of Policy on Ethics and

The Company&#146;s Statement of Policy on Ethics and
Professional Conduct is available for review on the

shareholder who requests a copy. By the spring of 2005, the
Company plans to have its updated Code of Ethics replace the

of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an
individual, a group or another company.&#148; The Edward W.
Scripps Trust holds a majority of the Company&#146;s outstanding
Common Voting Shares, which qualifies the Company as a
&#147;controlled company.&#148; As such, the Company could avail
itself of an exemption such status affords it from compliance
with the Exchange&#146;s requirements to have a majority of
independent directors and an independent nominating and
corporate governance committee and an independent compensation
committee. However, the board of directors has determined that a
majority of its board of directors is independent. On
May&nbsp;7, 2004 the Company filed with the New York Stock
Exchange its executed Annual Written Affirmation. An exhibit to
the Annual Written Affirmation was the Company&#146;s annual
Section&nbsp;303A.12(a) CEO Certification.

The members are Mr.&nbsp;Ronald W. Tysoe (chairman),
Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Sagansky and Ms.&nbsp;Julie A. Wrigley.
Mrs.&nbsp;Nackey E. Scagliotti was a member of the committee
until she resigned on October&nbsp;27, 2004. The board of
directors of the Company has determined that none of the current
members of the committee has any relationship with the Company
that could interfere with his or her exercise of independence
from management and the Company. Each of the members satisfies
the definitions of independence set forth in the rules
promulgated under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the listing
standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The board determined
that each member of the committee is financially literate as
defined under the current NYSE rules and that Mr.&nbsp;Tysoe is
an audit committee financial expert as defined in the SEC rules
adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The committee held six meetings during 2004 and, as of
March&nbsp;23, 2005, has had one meeting in 2005. During such
meetings, the committee spent a significant amount of time
reviewing the progress of management&#146;s first annual report
on internal controls over financial reporting as required by
section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management reported
to the committee that there were no material weaknesses in the
Company&#146;s system of internal controls over financial
reporting. Additionally, management represented to the committee
that the Company&#146;s quarterly financial statements and
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. The committee reviewed
and discussed such financial statements with management and the
Company&#146;s independent auditors, Deloitte&nbsp;&#38; Touche,
LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their
respective affiliates (collectively the &#147;Deloitte
Entities&#148;), and discussed such other matters deemed
relevant and appropriate by the committee. The committee
discussed with Deloitte Entities the matters required to be
discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No.&nbsp;61, as
amended, (Communications with Audit Committees). Deloitte
Entities also provided to the committee the written disclosures
and letter, required by Independence Standards Board Standard
No.&nbsp;1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees). The
committee and Deloitte Entities discussed independence and
whether the auditors&#146; provision of non-audit services is
compatible with maintaining such independence. It is the policy
of the committee that the Company notify the audit committee and
obtain its approval prior to engaging the Deloitte Entities for
any non-audit work.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above,
the committee recommended to the board of directors that the
audited financial statements be included in the company&#146;s
annual report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The compensation committee of the board of directors, which
consists entirely of non-employee directors of the company, is
responsible for reviewing and approving the Company&#146;s
executive compensation program. The members are
Messrs.&nbsp;David A. Galloway (chairman), John H. Burlingame,

<B>Overview of the Company&#146;s Compensation Philosophy</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The Company&#146;s executive compensation program is based on a
combination of a pay-for-performance philosophy and
market-aligned target compensation levels. The objective of the
program is to provide a comprehensive compensation package that
will enhance Company performance, maximize shareholder value,
and allow the company to attract, retain and motivate a
highly-qualified management team.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The company relies on a variety of published compensation
surveys such as the Towers Perrin Media Industry Survey and the
Cable and Television Human Resources Association Survey to
provide competitive compensation information that is used to
establish appropriate compensation levels.
</DIV>

<B>Components of the Compensation Program</B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
All elements of the executive compensation program are reviewed
annually by the compensation committee to ensure alignment with
Company objectives and consistency with competitive practices.
The program consists of base salary, annual bonus and long-term
incentives that include grants of nonqualified stock options and
restricted stock under the Company&#146;s 1997 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (hereinafter referred to as total direct
compensation). Performance-based compensation should be
commensurate with the level of performance achieved, appropriate
to the position held by the executive. Total direct compensation
is targeted to be between the market median and the 75th
percentile when taking performance into consideration. The
committee has determined that total direct compensation for the
named executive officers is reasonable and appropriate when
taking into consideration comparable positions in the market and
Company performance.

Salary levels for executive officers of the Company are targeted
to be at the median of the market in comparison to their
respective industry and professional peers. Salary adjustments
are a function of multiple factors including: competitive market
levels for comparable positions; an executive&#146;s position
responsibilities; an executive&#146;s job performance and
contributions; and the Company&#146;s performance. The
performance factors are not assigned specific weights. Rather,
the Committee applies its own judgment in evaluating the
aggregate impact of these factors and in making base salary
determinations.

The Committee takes into consideration the recommendation of the
chief executive officer when determining base salary increases
for the other named executive officers. The 2004 base salary
levels for named executive officers were generally close to the
median of the market data described above using regression
analysis to take into account the Company&#146;s revenue size.

Short-term incentives for 2004 were provided to the named
executive officers through the Executive Bonus Plan. The
Committee established objectives for two key financial measures,
operating cash flow and earnings per share. These measures
represented 60% and 40%, respectively, of each named

executive officer&#146;s bonus opportunity. The operating cash
flow targets for Messrs.&nbsp;Horton, Gardner, and Peterson were
based on the performance of their respective divisions. The
operating cash flow target for Messrs.&nbsp;Lowe, Boehne, and
NeCastro was based on the Company&#146;s consolidated
performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The target bonus opportunity for Mr.&nbsp;Boehne was set at 60%
of base salary. The target bonus opportunity for
Messrs.&nbsp;Horton, Gardner, and NeCastro was set at 50% of
base salary, and at 40% of base salary for Mr.&nbsp;Peterson.
Performance levels less than the established threshold result in
no bonus being paid. Performance levels that meet the targeted
level are paid out at 100%. In no case would the actual bonus
exceed 150% of the targeted bonus opportunity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The bonus award is typically paid during the first quarter of
the calendar year following the actual plan year, although
executives may elect to defer payment of the bonus until
retirement or another predetermined date.
</DIV>

For 2004, the Company did not meet its earnings per share target
or the consolidated and divisional operating cash flows except
for Scripps Networks&#146; division operating cash flow.
Therefore, the actual bonus awards for Messrs.&nbsp;Lowe,
Boehne, Horton, Peterson, and NeCastro were less than the
targeted award.

The purpose of the 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan is to encourage
stock ownership by management and better align the collective
interests of shareholders and management. The Plan allows for
several different types of stock-based awards, including stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and
restricted share unit grants.

Named executive officers typically receive an annual grant of
stock options. The 2004 award was a combination of stock options
and restricted stock. This is part of an ongoing effort to
provide stronger ties to performance and the interests of
shareholders.

The chief executive officer&#146;s 2004 compensation package
consisted of a base salary of $975,000 and a target annual bonus
opportunity of 80% of such salary ($780,000).
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s bonus plan for 2004 was based on the
criteria outlined above under &#147;Annual Bonus.&#148;
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s bonus for 2004 was less than the targeted
amount based on company performance.

Mr.&nbsp;Lowe continues to be covered under an employment
contract that was effective June&nbsp;16, 2003 and expires
December&nbsp;31, 2006. The details of Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s

Mr.&nbsp;Lowe was awarded an option on March&nbsp;23, 2004 to
purchase&nbsp;187,500 of the Company&#146;s Class&nbsp;A Common
shares under the Long-Term Incentive Program in recognition of
his performance in the previous year. The options will be
exercisable in three equal installments beginning on
March&nbsp;23, 2005. In addition, Mr.&nbsp;Lowe was awarded
21,290&nbsp;shares of restricted stock that vest in three equal
installments beginning on March&nbsp;23, 2005.

At the request of the Company, on September&nbsp;30, 2004,
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe converted 40,000 of his restricted shares to
restricted share units as provided by the Long-Term Incentive
Plan. These units will vest on January&nbsp;2, 2007.

Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in
1993, generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies
for compensation of more than $1&nbsp;million paid in any one
year to a company&#146;s chief executive officer and each of its
four other most highly compensated executives. Performance-based
compensation, if approved by shareholders, is exempt from
Section&nbsp;162(m). The Company&#146;s Executive Bonus Plan and
its Long-Term Incentive Plan have been approved by shareholders
and, accordingly, performance-based compensation awarded under
such plans is exempt from Section&nbsp;162(m).

The above table shows the annual normal retirement benefits
which, absent the maximum benefit limitations (the &#147;Benefit
Limitations&#148;) imposed by Section&nbsp;415(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
&#147;Code&#148;), would be payable pursuant to the Pension Plan
upon retirement at age&nbsp;65 (based upon the 2004 social
security integration level under the Pension Plan), pursuant to
a straight life annuity option, for employees in the
compensation ranges specified and under various assumptions with
respect to average final annual compensation and years of
credited services.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In general, the Benefit Limitations limit the annual retirement
benefits that may be paid pursuant to the Pension Plan to
$165,000 (subject to further cost-of-living increases
promulgated by the United States Secretary of the Treasury). The
Company supplements payments under the Pension Plan with direct
pension payments equal to the amount, if any, by which the
benefits that otherwise would be payable under the Pension Plan
exceed the benefits that are permitted to be paid under the
Benefit Limitations. Annual normal retirement benefits are
computed at the rate of 1% of average final annual compensation
up to the applicable social security integration level plus
1.25% of average final annual compensation in excess of the
social security integration level, multiplied by the
employee&#146;s years of credited service. An employee&#146;s
benefits are actuarially adjusted if paid in a form other than a
life annuity.

An employee&#146;s remuneration is defined as the average annual
amount of his pensionable compensation (generally salary and
bonus, excluding the Scripps Retirement&nbsp;&#38; Investment
Plan match and any other annual or long-term compensation
reflected in the Summary Compensation Table) for service during
the five consecutive years within the last ten years of his
employment for which his total compensation was greatest. The
employee&#146;s years of credited service equal the number of
years of his employment with the Company (subject to certain
limitations). As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, the years of
credited service of the individuals named in the cash
compensation table were as follows: Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&nbsp;&#151;
25; Mr.&nbsp;Gardner&nbsp;&#151; 20; Mr.&nbsp;Horton&nbsp;&#151;
34; Mr.&nbsp;Boehne&nbsp;&#151; 19;
Mr.&nbsp;NeCastro&nbsp;&#151; 3; Mr.&nbsp;Peterson&nbsp;&#151; 3.

In May 1996, the board of directors of the Company adopted a
Selected Officer Retirement Program, the purpose of which is to
provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain key
employees of the Company who meet the eligibility requirements.
Participants in the program must be specifically designated as
participants by the compensation committee. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2004, the Program has three retired employee
participants. No active employee has been designated for
participation in such plan. A participant begins to receive
benefits under the plan upon retirement. The amount of the
benefit is a percentage of the participant&#146;s highest
three-year average earnings subject to certain offsets and
maximums.

<B>REPORT ON THE COMPANY&#146;S CHANGE IN CONTROL PLAN</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
On April&nbsp;28, 2004, the directors of the Company approved
the Senior Executive Change in Control Plan (the &#147;Change in
Control Plan&#148;) for the named executive officers and certain
other executive officers of the Company. Under this Plan, if
there is a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the
Company, the participating executives will be entitled to
termination payments if their employment with the Company is
terminated without Cause (as defined in the Plan) or if they
terminate such employment for Good Reason (as defined in the
Plan), in either case within two (2)&nbsp;years of the Change in
Control. The amount of the termination payment payable to each
executive under the Plan equals a specific multiple (termination
pay multiple) of such executive&#146;s Base Salary and Bonus (as
such terms are defined in the Plan). Base Salary equals the
executive&#146;s highest annualized rate of Base Salary in
effect at any time during the year of termination and the three
full prior calendar years preceding termination. Bonus means the
higher of (i)&nbsp;an executive&#146;s target bonus in the year
of termination or (ii)&nbsp;the executive&#146;s highest actual
annual Bonus in the three full calendar years prior to
termination of employment. Executives who participate in the
Plan have termination pay multiples ranging from 1.5 to 2.5. Of
the named executives of the Company, the termination pay
multiple for Mr.&nbsp;Boehne is 2.5, and for the remaining named
executives (other than Mr.&nbsp;Lowe) the multiple is 2.
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe is not covered under this Plan since his
employment agreement provides for payments in the event of a
change in control. See &#147;Other Transactions.&#148; In
addition to termination payments, the Plan provides for
(i)&nbsp;continued benefits coverage for the number of months
following termination of employment equal to 12 times an
executive&#146;s termination pay multiple and (ii)&nbsp;a cash
sum equal to the actuarially determined value of a pension
enhancement equal to the difference in the present value of
(x)&nbsp;the actual pension the executive is entitled to receive
under the Company&#146;s Pension Plan and Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan and (y)&nbsp;the assumed pension such executive
would be entitled to receive under such plans if age and years
of credited service at the time of termination were increased by
a number equal to his termination pay multiple. The Plan also
provides that upon termination as described above all
outstanding equity awards held by an executive, including stock
options and restricted stock, will immediately vest and not be
subject to forfeiture, with all options remaining exercisable
for the remainder of their terms. Executives who receive
termination payments under the Plan are also entitled to
gross-up payments intended to cover any excise taxes (and
interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) under
Section&nbsp;4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

During 2004, the Company replaced the 1997 Deferred Compensation
and Phantom Stock Plan for Senior Officers and Selected
Employees, effective May&nbsp;&nbsp;22, 1997, and the Scripps
Executive Savings and Restoration Plan, effective
May&nbsp;&nbsp;1, 1999, with the Scripps Executive Deferred
Compensation and Savings Restoration Plan. To be eligible to
participate in the Plan, an employee must be eligible to
participate in both the Company&#146;s Long-Term Incentive Plan
and the Scripps Retirement and Investment Plan (401(k) Plan) and
must earn compensation in excess of the Internal Revenue Code
Section&nbsp;401(a)(17) limit in any one year. The Plan is a
non-qualified plan and participants may defer to the Plan,
before taxes are deducted, up to 50% of base pay and up to 100%
of an annual bonus. After a participant completes one year of
service with the Company, the Company adds a 50% match to base
pay deferrals, up to 6% of base pay. The Plan is intended to
help restore amounts that a participant cannot contribute to the
Company&#146;s 401(k) plan, due to federal contribution limits.

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

<I>Transfer Restrictions.</I> 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

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 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.

hereinafter referred to as a &#147;Required Meeting&#148;). At

P. Scripps&#146; estate. In this regard, The Edward W. Scripps

Pursuant to this agreement, Paul K. Scripps currently serves on

<I>Stockholder Agreement.</I> The former shareholders of the
John P. Scripps Newspaper Group, including John P. Scripps and
Paul K. Scripps, entered into a Stockholder Agreement with the
Company in connection with the JPSN Merger. This agreement
restricts to certain transferees the transfer of Common Voting
Shares received by such shareholders pursuant to the JPSN
Merger. These restrictions on transfer will terminate on the
earlier of the termination of The Edward W. Scripps Trust or
completion of a public offering of Common Voting Shares. Under
the agreement, if a shareholder has received a written offer to
purchase&nbsp;25% or more of his Common Voting Shares, the
Company has a &#147;right of first refusal&#148; to purchase
such shares on the same terms as the offer. On the death of any
of these shareholders, the Company is obligated to purchase from
the shareholder&#146;s estate a sufficient number of the Common
Voting Shares of the Company to pay federal and state estate
taxes attributable to all shares included in such estate; this
obligation expires in 2006. Under certain other circumstances,
such as bankruptcy or insolvency of a shareholder, the Company
has an option to buy all Common Voting Shares of the Company
owned by such shareholder. Under the agreement, stockholders
owning 25% or more of the outstanding Common Voting Shares
issued pursuant to the JPSN Merger may require the Company to
register Common Voting Shares (subject to the right of first
refusal mentioned above) under the Securities Act of 1933 for
sale at the shareholders&#146; expense in a public offering. In
addition, the former shareholders of the John P. Scripps
Newspaper Group will be entitled, subject to certain conditions,
to include Common Voting Shares (subject to the right of first
refusal) that they own in any registered public offering of
shares of the same class by the Company. The registration rights
expire three years from the date of a registered public offering
of Common Voting Shares.

serves as President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member
of the board of directors. The agreement continues through
December&nbsp;31, 2006, and thereafter renews for successive
one-year terms unless terminated. During the term, Mr.&nbsp;Lowe
is entitled to an annual salary, to be set by the Compensation
Committee of the Company, that is not less than that paid to him
for the immediately preceding year. Under the agreement,
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe participates in the Company&#146;s annual bonus
plan for senior executives with an annual target bonus
opportunity equal to no less than 80% of his salary. A
description of Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s compensation for 2004,
including awards granted pursuant to his employment agreement,
is included in the Compensation Committee&#146;s report under
&#147;Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.&#148;
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s agreement was amended on September&nbsp;30,
2004. Such amendment converted 40,000 restricted shares to
40,000 restricted share units under the terms of the
Company&#146;s Long-Term Incentive Plan. Effective
January&nbsp;1, 2005, Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s annual base salary
was increased to $1,050,000 and his target bonus opportunity was
increased to 100% of his annual base salary.

<I>Deferred Stock Units.</I> In recognition of the value
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe created in the Company&#146;s national television

employment agreement. As of the date of the employment
agreement, 80% of these deferred stock units had matured and
153,662 Class&nbsp;A Common Shares of the Company had been
issued in exchange for such units. On January&nbsp;15, 2004,
under his employment agreement, the remaining deferred stock
units matured and were exchanged for 38,414 Class&nbsp;A Common
Shares, and Mr.&nbsp;Lowe received $50,706, which equals the
amount of the cash dividends that would have been paid on such
shares had they been outstanding between July&nbsp;20, 1999 and
January&nbsp;15, 2004.

<I>Restricted Stock.</I> In connection with his employment
agreement, the Company granted Mr.&nbsp;Lowe 310,638 restricted
Class&nbsp;A Common Shares under the Company&#146;s Incentive
Plan, vesting in equal annual installments from 2004 through
2007. As of the date of this proxy statement, 155,320 of such
shares vested. On September&nbsp;30, 2004, 40,000 of these
shares were converted to restricted share units. Furthermore,
201,746 restricted Class&nbsp;A Common Shares granted in
connection with the previous employment agreement will continue
to vest in accordance with their original vesting schedules. As
of the date of this proxy statement, 113,426 of such shares have
vested. All restricted shares that have not vested shall be
forfeited if Mr.&nbsp;Lowe elects Early Retirement (as defined
in the Agreement) before January&nbsp;1, 2007, or if the Company
terminates his employment as a result of criminal conviction. If
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s employment is terminated for any other
reason (including a Change in Control), all restricted shares
shall vest immediately.

<I>Termination.</I> If the Company terminates the employment
agreement for Cause (as defined in the agreement) or if
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe terminates the agreement for any reason other than
Good Reason (as defined in the agreement), Mr.&nbsp;Lowe will
not be entitled to any further compensation or other benefits

If Mr.&nbsp;Lowe dies or suffers Permanent Disability, the
Company must continue to pay Mr.&nbsp;Lowe (or his estate) his
salary and provide him (and his family) with medical benefits
for two years. Also, all outstanding equity awards will vest

original term.

If the Company terminates the agreement without Cause or
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe terminates it for Good Reason (other than within
two years following a Change in Control), the Company must
continue to pay Mr.&nbsp;Lowe his salary for the greater of
three years or the balance of the term remaining at the time of
such termination. Mr.&nbsp;Lowe will also be entitled to receive
an amount equal to the target bonus then in effect times the
greater of two or the number of years remaining under the term
of the agreement, and he will be entitled to all benefits for
the greater of two years or the balance of the term of the
agreement, subject to certain offsets. Also, outstanding equity
awards will vest with the options remaining exercisable for the
remainder of the original term.

<I>Change in Control.</I> If the Company terminates the
employment agreement without Cause within two years after a
Change in Control or Mr.&nbsp;Lowe terminates it for Good Reason
within such two-year period, the Company must pay him an amount
equal to three times the greater of his then current salary or
his salary at the highest annualized rate paid in the three
calendar years prior to the date of termination and in addition
an amount equal to three times the greater of 100% of his target
bonus for the year of such termination or the highest annual
bonus he received for the three calendar years prior to
termination. Until the earliest of the third anniversary of the
Change in Control termination or Mr.&nbsp;Lowe&#146;s death or
his securing of full-time employment which provides
substantially equivalent benefits, the Company will provide
Mr.&nbsp;Lowe and his eligible dependents with benefits
substantially equivalent to those which were received
immediately prior to the date of termination or a Change in
Control. The Company shall also provide Mr.&nbsp;Lowe with
reasonable outplacement services for a period of eighteen months
and will reimburse him for his reasonable legal expenses in an
amount not to exceed $75,000 should he have to institute legal
proceedings to enforce the Change in Control provisions of the
agreement. All outstanding equity awards will vest upon a Change
in Control with the options remaining exercisable for the
remainder of the original term.

The Company employed Mr.&nbsp;B. Jeff Craig as its vice
president and chief technology officer effective
February&nbsp;19, 2001. Under the terms of his employment
agreement, which expired in 2003, the Company loaned
Mr.&nbsp;Craig $300,000, to be repaid, with interest at
6%&nbsp;per year, by January 2004. The final installment of that
loan obligation, $134,905, was paid in January 2004.

The Company employed Mr.&nbsp;Joseph G. NeCastro as its senior
vice president and chief financial officer effective May&nbsp;3,
2002. To assist Mr.&nbsp;NeCastro in satisfying an obligation
with his previous employer, the Company paid him a $661,626
signing bonus (including the gross-up for withholding taxes) and
loaned him $356,905. If Mr.&nbsp;NeCastro voluntarily resigns
within three years of his date of hire, he will be required to
pay the Company $350,000 of the signing bonus. If he voluntarily
resigns between three and five years of his date of hire, he
will be required to pay the Company $175,000 of the signing
bonus. Mr.&nbsp;NeCastro must repay the loan, with interest at
4.75%&nbsp;per year, by July&nbsp;26, 2007. A portion of
Mr.&nbsp;NeCastro&#146;s annual performance bonus, if any, will
be used to repay interest and principal on the loan.
Simultaneously with such payment, the Company has agreed to pay
Mr.&nbsp;NeCastro an additional bonus, the net amount of which
will equal withholding taxes applicable to the portion of the
bonus used for the loan payment. In February 2004,
Mr.&nbsp;NeCastro repaid $80,000 of his loan balance. If his
employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, all
outstanding principal and accrued interest must be paid within
thirty (30)&nbsp;days of the date of such termination.

Mr.&nbsp;Alan M. Horton retired from his role as senior vice
president/newspapers on December&nbsp;16, 2004. Upon his
retirement, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement and
a Special Retirement Supplement Agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Horton.
Mr.&nbsp;Horton will serve as an independent consultant for the
Company for a three-year term that began on January&nbsp;1,
2005. Mr.&nbsp;Horton will provide the Company and its
subsidiaries and affiliates and the Scripps Howard Foundation
with business advice and other consulting services, as may be
requested from time to time by the Company. In consideration for
all services performed by Mr.&nbsp;Horton, he will be paid a
monthly fee of $12,500 during the term of the consulting
agreement. In addition, should Mr.&nbsp;Horton satisfy his
obligations and the agreement expires in the normal course, the
Company will pay Mr.&nbsp;Horton a one-time fee of $50,000
within thirty days following the expiration of the consulting
term. The Special Retirement Supplement agreement provides
Mr.&nbsp;Horton with three equal payments of $166,667 on
January&nbsp;15, 2005, January&nbsp;15, 2006 and
January&nbsp;15, 2007.

The Company employed Mr.&nbsp;Mark G. Contreras as its vice
president of newspaper operations effective January&nbsp;4,
2005. Under the terms of the compensation arrangements
Mr.&nbsp;Contreras received a signing bonus of $150,000. Half of
such bonus was paid in January 2005 and the remainder is payable
on July&nbsp;5, 2005, conditioned upon his continuing employment
through that date. Mr.&nbsp;Contreras also received a grant of
4,000 performance-based restricted shares pursuant to the
Company&#146;s 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Mr.&nbsp;Contreras
will also receive the following: (i)&nbsp;an annualized base
salary of $450,000; (ii)&nbsp;an annual bonus target amount
equal to 45% of his annual base salary (while the bonus he
receives will depend upon the Company&#146;s achievement of
earnings per share and operating cash flow targets for the
newspaper operating segment, the Company has guaranteed that
Mr.&nbsp;Contreras will receive at least $151,875, no later than
March 2006.); (iii)&nbsp;a one-time bonus of $50,000 if certain
2005 targets related to on-line revenue and advertising
benchmarks for the newspaper operating segment are met;
(iv)&nbsp;a severance payment equal to one and one-half times
his base salary and annual bonus if he is terminated without
cause or if he leaves the Company for good reason prior to
December&nbsp;31, 2006, other than within 18&nbsp;months
following a change in control. Cause is defined in the
Company&#146;s Senior Executive Change in Control Plan. Good
reason is defined as (a)&nbsp;a material reduction in his
starting pay or target bonus, (b)&nbsp;an assignment of duties
that is materially inconsistent with, or materially less than
his duties as vice president of newspaper operations or
(c)&nbsp;an assignment or relocation without his consent. In no
event would he receive a severance payment and a payment under
the Change in Control

There will be submitted at the annual meeting for action by the
holders of Common Voting Shares a proposal to amend The E. W.
Scripps Company&#146;s 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
&#147;Plan&#148;). The Plan amendment would increase the number
of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan from 18,317,400
to 24,317,400. The Board of directors approved the proposed
amendments on February&nbsp;10, 2005.

<I>Reservation of Additional Shares.</I> The Plan presently
provides for the issuance of 18,317,400 Class&nbsp;A Common
Shares. Through January&nbsp;31, 2005, awards for 1,563,448
restricted shares and options for 13,939,800&nbsp;shares had
been granted under the Plan to directors, executive officers and
key employees of the Company. On that date, 2,814,152
Class&nbsp;A Common Shares were available for issuance in the
future under the Plan. If proposal&nbsp;2 is approved by the
holders of the Common Voting Shares, on April&nbsp;14, 2005,
8,814,152&nbsp;shares will be available for issuance under the
Plan. This 8,814,152, along with the 15,503,248&nbsp;shares
already granted under the Plan, would represent an amount equal
to approximately 19.2% of the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares
outstanding and approximately 14.9% of the aggregate of the
Class&nbsp;A Common Shares and Common Voting Shares outstanding.
The closing sale price of the Class&nbsp;A Common Shares on the
New York Stock Exchange on February&nbsp;18, 2005 was $46.69. At
that date, the aggregate value of the additional
6,000,000&nbsp;shares proposed to be reserved for purposes of
the Plan was $280,140,000.

<I>Performance Measures.</I> The Plan presently allows for
grants of restricted shares. Under the terms of the amended
plan, the Incentive Plan Committee (the &#147;Committee&#148;)
will be able to grant shares, the vesting of which shall be
based on the attainment of written performance goals approved by
the Committee for a performance period established by the
Committee (i)&nbsp;while the outcome for such performance period
is substantially uncertain and (ii)&nbsp;no more than
90&nbsp;days after the commencement of such performance period
to which the performance goal relates. The performance goals,
which must be objective, shall be based solely upon one or more
of the following criteria:

<I>Certain Technical Amendments.</I> To comply with recent
legislation relating to non-qualified deferred compensation and
with certain changes in tax regulations, the Company is
proposing certain technical amendments to the Plan.
Section&nbsp;5 of the Plan will be amended to indicate that the
maximum number of shares for which incentive stock options may
be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 5,000,000 for the
duration of the Plan. Additionally, Section&nbsp;21 will be
added to the Plan to provide that if any payment to be made
under the Plan is considered &#147;non-qualified deferred
compensation&#148; subject to Section&nbsp;409(A) of the Code,
payment thereof will be delayed for six (6)&nbsp;months
following separation from service of the Plan participant.

If the proposed amendment is approved by the holders of Common
Voting Shares, the Company&#146;s compensation committee and/or
incentive plan committee will from time to time consider awards
for key employees and directors of the Company under the Plan.
Such decisions regarding awards are in the Committee&#146;s sole
discretion. A copy of the Plan is attached as an exhibit to this
proxy statement.

<I>Nonqualified Stock Options.</I> With respect to nonqualified
stock options generally, (a)&nbsp;no income is realized by the
optionee at the time the option is granted, (b)&nbsp;upon
exercise of the option, the optionee realizes ordinary income in
an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value
of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price
paid for the shares, and the Company is entitled to a tax
deduction in the amount of ordinary income realized (provided
that applicable withholding or reporting requirements are

With respect to the exercise of a nonqualified stock option and
the payment of the option price by the delivery of Class&nbsp;A
Common Shares, to the extent that the number of shares received
does not exceed the number of shares surrendered, no taxable
income will be realized by the optionee at that time, the tax
basis of the shares received will be the same as the tax basis
of the shares surrendered, and the holding period of the
optionee in the shares received will include his holding period
in the shares surrendered. To the extent that the number of
shares received exceeds the number of shares surrendered,
ordinary income will be realized by the optionee at that time in
the amount of the fair market value of such excess shares, the
tax basis of such excess shares will be such fair market value,
and the holding period of the optionee in such shares will begin
on the date such shares are transferred to the optionee.

<I>Capital Gains.</I> Under current law, capital gains are
subject to the same tax rates that apply to ordinary income,
except the rate on long-term capital gains may not exceed 15%.
Capital losses may be utilized to offset capital gains to the
extent of capital gains, and $3,000 of capital losses in excess
of capital gains ($1,500 in the case of a married individual
filing a separate return) is deductible against other income. To
receive long-term capital gain (loss) treatment with respect to
any appreciation (depreciation)&nbsp;in the value of the shares
acquired pursuant to the Plan, the participant must hold such
shares for more than one year. Shares held for one year or less
will receive short-term capital gain or loss treatment.

There will be submitted at the annual meeting for action by the
holders of Common Voting Shares a proposal to approve The E. W.
Scripps Company&#146;s Executive Bonus Plan (the &#147;Bonus
Plan&#148;) and to amend it to conform to changes in the
Internal Revenue Code (the &#147;Code&#148;) with respect to
nonqualified deferred compensation, to modify the definition of
Change in Control under the Bonus Plan and to make certain
technical and administrative amendments to the Bonus Plan. The
board of directors approved the proposed amendments on
February&nbsp;10, 2005.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The purpose of the plan is to promote the interests of The E. W.
Scripps Company and its shareholders by providing incentive
compensation for certain designated key executives and employees
of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan was first approved
by the shareholders on May&nbsp;18, 2000.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally
disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation
over $1.0&nbsp;million paid to the chief executive officer and
the four other most highly compensated executive officers
employed by the Company at the end of the applicable year.
Performance-based compensation will not be subject to the
deduction limit if certain requirements are met. In the case of
the Bonus Plan, one such requirement is that it be approved by
the Company&#146;s shareholders every five years. A copy of the
Plan is attached as an exhibit to this proxy statement.

<I>To conform to changes in the Internal Revenue Code.</I> An
amendment has been made to the plan to provide that if, any
payment to be made under the Plan is &#147;nonqualified deferred
compensation&#148; subject to Section&nbsp;409A of the Code,
such payment will be delayed for six (6)&nbsp;months following
the individual participant&#146;s separation from service.

<I>To modify the definition of Change in Control.</I> The
proposed amendment will conform the Plan&#146;s &#147;Change in
Control&#148; definition to correspond with such definition in
the Company&#146;s 1997 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under the
proposed definition, a &#147;Change in Control&#148; shall occur

Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only when, to the extent and on

Upon the exercise of a tandem SAR, the grantee shall be entitled
to a distribution in an amount equal to the difference between
the Fair Market Value of a share on the date of exercise and the
exercise price of the option to which the SAR corresponds. The
Committee shall decide whether such distribution shall be in
cash, in shares, or in a combination thereof.

(b)&nbsp;<I>Independent SARs.</I> SARs may be granted by the
Committee independently of options (&#147;Independent
SARs&#148;). An Independent SAR will entitle a participant to

date of exercise over its Fair Market Value on the date the
Independent SAR was granted.

shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise of such SAR.

Performance units may be granted on a contingent basis to
participants at any time and from time to time as determined by
the Committee. The Committee shall have complete discretion in
determining the number of performance units so granted to a
participant and the appropriate period over which performance is
to be measured (&#147;performance cycle&#148;). Each performance
unit shall have a dollar value determined by the Committee at
the time of grant. The value of each unit may be fixed or it may
be permitted to fluctuate based on a performance factor (e.g.,
return on equity) selected by the Committee. The Committee shall
establish performance goals that, depending on the extent to
which they are met, will determine the ultimate value of the
performance unit or the number of performance units earned by
participants, or both.

The Committee shall establish performance goals and objectives

The Committee shall determine the number of performance units
that have been earned by a participant on the basis of the
Company&#146;s performance over the performance cycle in

performance units may be paid out in restricted or nonrestricted
shares, cash, or a combination of both, as the Committee shall

A participant must be an employee of the Company at the end of

performance unit granted in respect of such cycle; provided,
however, that, except as otherwise provided by the Committee, if
a participant ceases to be an employee of the Company upon the
occurrence of his or her death, Retirement, or Disability prior
to the end of the performance cycle, the participant shall earn
a proportionate number of performance units based upon the
elapsed portion of the performance cycle and the Company&#146;s
performance over that portion of such cycle in accordance with
terms and conditions established by the Committee upon grant of
a performance unit.

The Committee may grant shares under the Plan to such
participants and in such amounts as it determines. Each grant
shall specify the applicable restrictions, if any, the duration
of such restrictions, the time or times at which such
restrictions shall lapse with respect to all or a specified
number of shares or units that are part of the grant, and the
terms and conditions under which a participant can earn a

The Committee may grant restricted shares that are convertible

The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of
its Subsidiaries or one or more of its divisions, units,
partnerships, joint ventures or minority investments, product
lines or products or any combination of the foregoing, and may
be applied on an absolute basis or be relative to the
Company&#146;s annual budget, one or more peer group companies
or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee
shall determine. In addition, to the degree consistent with
Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code (or any successor section
thereto), the performance goals may be calculated without regard
to extraordinary items or adjusted for unusual or unplanned
items. The maximum amount of an Award to any Participant with
respect to a fiscal year of the Company shall be $3,000,000.

(b)&nbsp;<I>Payment.</I> The Committee shall determine whether,
with respect to a Performance Period, the applicable performance
goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if
they have, to so certify, and ascertain the amount of the
applicable Award. No Awards will be paid for such Performance
Period until such certification is made by the Committee. The
amount of the Award actually paid to a given Participant may be
less than the amount determined by the applicable performance
goal formula (including zero), at the discretion of the
Committee. The amount of the Award determined by the Committee
for a Performance Period shall be paid to the Participant at
such time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion
after the end of such Performance Period.

to ensure the deductibility by the Company or its Subsidiaries
of the payment of Awards; <I>provided, however,</I> that the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, administer the Plan in

(d)&nbsp;<I>Termination of Employment.</I> If a Participant
dies, retires, is assigned to a different position, is granted a
leave of absence, or if the Participant&#146;s employment is
otherwise terminated (except with cause by the Company, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) during a
Performance Period (other than a Performance Period in which a
Change in Control occurs), a pro rata share of the
Participant&#146;s award based on the period of actual
participation shall be paid to the Participant after the end of
the Performance Period if it would have become earned and
payable had the Participant&#146;s employment status not
changed; provided, however, that the amount of the Award
actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount
determined by the applicable performance goal formula (including
zero), at the discretion of the Committee.
