Dear Mr. de Wied:

       We have reviewed the above-captioned filings and have the following
comments.

Amendments No. 3 and 4 to Schedule 13D

1. We note that you conducted sales of five million shares of TEGNA stock in
March following
   the March 20 record date for TEGNA's annual meeting. Given that these sales
took place
   after the record date, please advise us as to whether you have retained the
right to vote these
   shares at the annual meeting, and if so, why your soliciting materials and
Schedule 13D
   amendments filed April 1 and April 3, 2020 do not reflect the beneficial
ownership of these
   shares.

2. Please amend your Schedule 13D to disclose the information required by Item
6, including a
   description of the swap arrangements, the identity of the counterparties,
and any associated
   voting arrangements with those counterparties. Additionally, file as an
exhibit the
   arrangements relating to the transfer or voting of the subject shares as
required by Item 7.

Definitive Additional Materials on Schedule 14A filed April 7, 2020

3. We note the disclosure of your "ownership interest of nearly 12% of the
Company's
   outstanding shares." In future filings, where you discuss your ownership of
TEGNA shares,
   please also disclose the form of such share ownership, both in terms of your
economic and
   voting interests, in order to provide proper context.
