A headline in the business section of today's New York Times reports, "4 Media Companies Expect to Meet Estimates." The first sentence of the article says, "Large media companies announced yesterday that they expected to meet analysts' earnings estimates." And the four companies named in the article are Knight Ridder, Dow Jones, the Washington Post Co., and the New York Times Co. So an ordinary reader encountering the New York Times article and headline could well go away with the impression that the Washington Post Co. announced yesterday that it expected to meet analysts' estimates. In fact, however, as an article in the Wall Street Journal reports, "Washington Post, as is its custom, wouldn't talk about Wall Street's earnings forecasts." A look at the Washington Post corporate web site, which has the text and slides of the presentation made yesterday by the Washington Post's chief executive, Donald Graham, bears that out. The Times headline and article combine to leave readers with the wrong impression about what the Washington Post Company is telling Wall Street.
