                THOMAS NELSON SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE MERGER

Nashville, TN.  June 8, 2006.  Thomas Nelson, Inc. (NYSE: TNM) announced

closing in the merger agreement, the parties currently anticipate the
closing of the merger on June 12, 2006. Upon closing, each outstanding share

into the right to receive $29.85 in cash, without interest, and Thomas
Nelson will become a privately held company and its shares of common and
Class B common stock will cease to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 20, 2006, is by and among
the Company, Faith Media Holdings, LLC ("Faith Media") and Faith Media's
wholly-owned subsidiary, FM Mergerco, Inc. ("Mergerco").  Upon consummation
of the merger, Mergerco will be merged with and into Thomas Nelson, with
Thomas Nelson surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Faith Media.  Faith
Media was formed by InterMedia Partners, L.P. to acquire Thomas Nelson in
the merger.

This news release includes certain forward-looking statements (all
statements other than those made solely with respect to historical fact)
that involve risks and uncertainties relating to future events, including
whether and when the merger will be consummated, and the actual results may
differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements due
to known and unknown risks and uncertainties.  Any one or more of several
risks and uncertainties could account for differences between the
forward-looking statements that are made today and the actual results,
including with respect to our sales, profits, liquidity and capital
position.  These factors include, but are not limited to:  risks relating
to our ability to satisfy regulatory requirements with respect to our
internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires us to perform an evaluation of
our internal control over financial reporting and have our auditor attest
to such evaluation; softness in the general retail environment or in the
markets for our products; the timing and acceptance of products being
introduced to the market; the level of product returns experienced; the
level of margins achievable in the marketplace; the collectibility of
accounts receivable; the recoupment of royalty advances; the effects of
acquisitions or dispositions, the financial condition of our customers and
suppliers; the realization of inventory values at carrying amounts; our
access to capital; the outcome of any Internal Revenue Service audits; and
the realization of income tax and intangible assets.  These conditions
cannot be predicted reliably and the Company may adjust its strategy in
light of changed conditions or new information.  Thomas Nelson disclaims
any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
