Hearst in 2022

We began last year with the pandemic still raging and soon were forced to confront the effects of the terrible war in Ukraine, soaring inflation and plunging financial markets. Thanks to our colleagues’ outstanding efforts and to our broad portfolio of great businesses and brands, we met the moment, fulfilled our mission and generated record results.

The profit we generate from our portfolio of businesses is by no means the sole measure of our value as a company. We couldn’t be prouder of how our company serves the communities in which we live and work. The value our businesses deliver includes service and investigative journalism and documentaries, and vital analysis, data and software to the global financial services, healthcare, aviation, trucking and automotive industries. There is also the joy that our entertainment and sports programming brings viewers around the world. Our businesses play a major role in the civic and philanthropic lives of the communities they serve, and through Hearst Gives Back, so do our colleagues. We are committed to maintaining the highest quality in our products and services and to making Hearst a more diverse, inclusive and sustainable company.

We hope you enjoy this overview of our 135th year.

President & CEO, Hearst
