Exhibit A:

				    				September 23, 2004


George L. Mahoney, Esq.
General Counsel and Secretary
Media General, Inc.
333 East Grace Street, 4th Floor
Richmond, Virginia 23219


Dear Mr. Mahoney:

	As you know, our clients have been shareholders of Media General
for longer than a decade and currently own in the aggregate
approximately 6.2 million shares or over 26% of the shares outstanding.

	We continue to believe that any acquisition by Media General in
excess of $25 million should require a unanimous vote of the Board.
The directors should focus on using the company's cash flow to buy
their own undervalued securities and reduce debt.  The acquisitions
that were made in the past benefited other shareholders and not Media
General shareholders.

	Although Media General has resisted each of our requests to
include a shareholder proposal in its proxy statement, we will continue
to pursue this avenue for bringing our point of view to all
shareholders.  Accordingly, we are providing you with notice that one
or more of our affiliates or their clients intend to submit a
shareholder proposal for inclusion in Media General's proxy statement
for its next annual meeting proposing that any acquisition by Media
General in excess of $25 million should require a unanimous vote of its
board of directors.


							Very truly yours,




							James E. McKee
							Vice President,
      							General Counsel
							And Secretary
