This Fortune story by Mark Fass on the Hearst media empire written as a detailed look at the divorce of Heart's grandson Bunky, published on Wednesday morning just after SRTN's deadline, so I'm stretching to include it today. It's another entry in our non-existent entertainment page for its lurid divorce details but also substantive on the issue of corporate governance.
Fass get into how the Hearst Trust runs the company, why Heart's structure functions better than the Bancroft trust did with Dow Jones, how Bunky Hearst's ex-wife out-maneuvered his lawyers for years before settling.
There isn't really a PR lesson here or any deep message about the future of journalism. The big message is don't get divorced.
