Hearst Corporation Drops ‘Corp.’

In a shocking twist that no one saw coming, Hearst Corporation will from now on be known simply as “Hearst.”

As Hearst vp of communications Paul Luthringer explained, it’s just easier. “We’ve simplified our communications: As one of the nation’s largest diversified media, information and services companies with more than 360 businesses, all of our properties now reflect this trade name change. So going forward, when referring to us, simply ‘Hearst’ is correct.”
