PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION


        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS



Operating Summary
Income from operations for the second quarter of 1995 rose $15.7
million or 7%, with each division reporting higher earnings.
Newspaper earnings, which rose 3%, were tempered by sharp increases
in newsprint costs.  Broadcast earnings rose 20%, principally because
of television advertising revenue growth. Outdoor division earnings
were significantly improved, rising 36% over the comparable period
a year ago.

Operating income for the first six months of 1995 rose $30.4
million or 8%.

Newspapers
Newspaper publishing revenues rose $28.3 million or 4% in the
second quarter of 1995 and $48.8 million or 3% for the
year-to-date.  Newspaper advertising revenue rose $27 million or 5%
in the quarter and $51.5 million or 5% for the first six months,
reflecting continued gains in classified advertising, particularly
in employment and automotive.

The tables below provide, on a pro forma basis, further details of
newspaper ad revenue and linage for the second quarter and
year-to-date periods of 1995 and 1994:

Newspaper circulation revenues were up slightly for the quarter and
for the year-to-date.  Net paid daily circulation for the Company's
local newspapers was down 1% for the quarter and for the first six
months of 1995.  Sunday circulation also declined 1% for the
quarter and was down 2% for the year-to-date.  USA TODAY reported
an average daily paid circulation of 2,055,809 in the ABC
Publisher's statement for the six months ended March 26,1995,
which, subject to audit, is a 2% increase from the comparable
period a year ago.

Operating costs in total for the newspaper segment rose $23 million
or 4% for the quarter and $35.5 million or 3% for the year-to-date.
Newsprint expense increased 34% for the quarter and 24% for the
first six months, reflecting significantly higher prices from a
year ago.  The impact of newsprint price increases was partially
offset by newsprint conservation efforts, as consumption was below
1994 levels for the quarter and year-to-date periods, and by cost
controls in other areas.  The Company expects further newsprint
price increases in 1995, which together with recent increases, will
significantly affect newsprint expense comparisons for the
remainder of 1995 and into 1996.  Payroll costs rose 2% for the
quarter and for the year-to-date.

Newspaper operating income rose $5.3 million or 3% for the second
quarter and $13.3 million or 4% for the first six months, principally
because of ad revenue gains. Most of the Company's local
newspapers reported improved ad revenues and operating income.  At
USA TODAY, revenues improved for the quarter and for the
year-to-date, but higher newsprint costs caused operating income to
decline for the quarter and for the first six months.

Broadcast
Broadcast revenues increased $13.4 million or 12% for the second
quarter and $26.4 million or 14% for the first six months, while
operating costs were up $5.5 million or 8% for the quarter and
$13.4 million or 10% for the year-to-date.  Operating costs for the
year-to-date period include certain program costs for the Company's
Denver television station related to its pending affiliation change
to NBC later this year. On a pro forma basis, broadcast revenues
increased 10% for the quarter and 11% for the year-to-date while
operating costs increased 4% for the quarter and 7% for the first
six months.

Pro forma local television ad revenues grew 11% for the quarter and
for the year-to-date while national revenues increased 10% for the
quarter and 11% for the first six months.  Radio revenues increased
5% for the quarter and 8% for the year-to-date.

Operating income rose $7.9 million or 20% for the quarter and $12.9
million or 21% for the year-to-date, reflecting strong gains at
most of the Company's television and radio stations.

Outdoor
Outdoor revenues increased $5.4 million or 9% for the quarter and
$9.1 million or 8% for the year-to-date, reflecting strong growth
in national advertising.  Poster and bulletin sales and occupancy
rates were higher for the quarter and for the year-to-date.
Operating costs rose $2.5 million or 4% for the quarter and $4.2
million or 4% for the first six months.  Operating income for
Outdoor grew $2.9 million or 36% for the quarter and $4.8 million
or 140% for the year-to-date.

Non-operating Income and Expense
Interest expense rose slightly for the quarter and $0.7 million or
3% for the year-to-date reflecting higher average interest rates
offset by lower average borrowings.

Net Income
Net income rose $7.7 million or 6% for the quarter and $15.1
million or 7% for the first six months.  Net income per share rose
to $1.00 from $0.90 for the quarter, an increase of 11%.  For the
year-to-date, net income per share increased 13% to $1.61 from
$1.43 in 1994.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding
totaled 140,117,000 for the second quarter of 1995 compared with
147,169,000 for the second quarter of 1994.  Average shares
outstanding for the year-to-date totaled 140,065,000 for 1995 and
147,146,000 for 1994.  The decline in the number of shares
outstanding for the quarter and year-to-date periods reflects
shares purchased under the Company's share repurchase program
during the second and third quarters of 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operating activities totaled $271 million for the
first half of 1995 compared with $358 million a year ago.
Principal uses of cash flow in 1995 were for capital expenditures,
reduction of debt, dividends and pension funding.

Capital expenditures for the year-to-date totaled $64 million in
1995, compared to $68 million in 1994.  Long-term debt (commercial
paper obligations) was reduced by $153 million.  The Company's
regular quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share was declared in the
first and second quarters of 1995 and totaled $95.3 million.

Other Matters
On July 13, 1995, six unions, representing approximately 2,500 of
the 3,500 employees at The Detroit News, the Company's newspaper,
the Detroit Free Press, a Knight-Ridder newspaper, and the Detroit
Newspaper Agency, which performs all business operations for the
two newspapers, went on strike following unsuccessful labor
contract negotiations.

The Company cannot say with any certainty how long the strike may
last or what the outcome may be.  The strike is not expected to
materially affect the Company's consolidated results of operations
or financial condition.

On July 24, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to
acquire Multimedia, Inc. Multimedia publishes 11 daily and 49
non-daily newspapers and operates five network-affiliated
television stations and two radio stations.  The company also
owns cable television franchises, a security alarm business, and
produces first-run syndicated television programming and News
Talk Television for cable TV.  The acquisition is expected to be
completed as soon as Multimedia shareholder and regulatory
approvals are obtained, at a purchase price in excess of $1.7
billion.  The Company will also assume or retire Multimedia's
existing debt.  The purchase price will be adjusted if
Multimedia's debt at December 31, 1995 exceeds a specified level.
