The E.W. Scripps Company

The E.W. Scripps Company operates local television and national media brands that connect audiences across communities, platforms and experiences. Its local television stations, within the Scripps News Group, deliver local news and information, with journalism intended to serve as a public watchdog, a source during crises and a resource for everyday decisions. The company distributes this reporting through television, desktop, mobile and over-the-top video platforms. Its broader media operations reflect a multiplatform strategy built around the ways audiences and advertisers engage with news, entertainment and digital content.

Nationally, the company reaches audiences through Scripps News and entertainment brands including ION, Bounce, Grit, Laff and ION Mystery. These brands are distributed over the air, over the top, through cable and satellite, and on digital platforms. Founded in 1878, the company has developed from a newspaper enterprise into a broadcaster and media organization with local and national operations. Its history includes the Scripps Washington Bureau, established during World War I and now focused on investigative reporting. The organization also maintains the Scripps Howard Fund, a public charity supporting journalism education, childhood literacy and local initiatives through scholarships, internships, fellowships, First Amendment causes and the Scripps Howard Awards.
