Dear Mr. Morton:

We were disappointed by the tone of the Company's public press release in
response to our notice of January 24 nominating three individuals for election
to the board.  Our action was neither "hostile" nor "ill-advised."  We made no
public press release, and we filed our notice in a manner consistent with the
Company's bylaws and as is our right as a responsible shareholder.  We should
point out that we have no interest in altering the company's dual class share
structure.  Furthermore, you should know that we have a history of providing
long-term support to companies that face serious challenges or are out of favor
in the investing community, such as is currently the case with Media General.
In this case, we seek to add value by nominating candidates who will bring fresh
ideas and valuable perspective to the Company's board.

We were also surprised that you were "puzzled" by our notice and found it
"thoroughly unwarranted."  As you know, we currently hold 18.4% of the
Company's Class A shares, making us the Company's second largest shareholder.
We also note that since we first invested in Media General, the Company's stock
has declined 39%.  Since its peak, the Company's stock is down 72% and has been
on a declining trend for four years.  On the basis of this performance, as we
mentioned in our notice, we believe the time is appropriate to enhance the
Company's corporate governance and re-examine and adjust its strategic
direction in order to (i) more directly address the challenges faced by the
Company, (ii) sustain and improve its long term profitability, (iii) optimize
the Company's capital allocation and (iv) bring increased focus on maximizing
stockholder value to the Company's decision making.

Accordingly, we identified three very highly qualified individuals for
nomination who have deep experience in and perspective on both broadcasting and
publishing, a strong commitment to good governance, and a track record of
advocating for, preserving and creating value for all shareholders.  We hope
the nominating and governance committee will give our nominees serious and fair
consideration.

Media General possesses a terrific collection of assets, and we believe that
with the right strategy the Company's shareholders will ultimately enjoy the
benefits of ownership. We would welcome dialogue and/or a meeting with you at
the earliest opportunity, and we look forward to working together to build
shareholder value at Media General.


                                Very truly yours,

                                HARBINGER CAPITAL PARTNERS MASTER FUND I, LTD.
