WPO is perceived as similar to other newspaper companies, but its cable operations and education business make it substantially different. The newspaper business will probably decline slowly, but growth in the other two businesses should more than compensate. Toss in honest and shareholder-friendly management and conservative accounting practices, and this company should outperform the market over the next five to ten years.
