Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote [Text Block]

Amounts included in columns (c) and (e) are referred to as “compensation actually paid” or “CAP” and have been calculated in accordance with SEC proxy disclosure rules. These amounts do not represent the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to the executives during the applicable year. In particular, with respect to equity-based compensation, “compensation actually paid” does not represent amounts actually paid to the executive or necessarily the value that will ultimately be realized under equity awards. Rather, it primarily reflects the change in fair market value of equity awards during the applicable year.

The determination of ”compensation actually paid” begins with the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table (the “SCT”). In determining compensation actually paid, SEC proxy disclosure rules require that certain adjustments be made to the SCT totals with respect to equity-based and other compensation. For equity-based awards made during the year, the recorded grant date value is replaced with the estimated year-end value. For equity-based awards made in prior years, but paid out during the year, the value at payout is included. And for equity-based awards made in prior years that remain unvested at year-end, the estimated change in value from the beginning to the end of the year is included.

For performance-based equity awards, the estimate of year-end value is based upon the “probable outcome” of the performance conditions as of the last day of the fiscal year.

Given the methodology under which “compensation actually paid” is required to be calculated, these amounts are subject to significant fluctuation based on stock price volatility and varying levels of projected and actual achievement under performance-based equity awards. For a discussion of how the Compensation Committee assessed Company performance and the compensation of our named executive officers, see “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

The following table reconciles “compensation actually paid” to total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for each of Ms. Kopit Levien and Mr. Thompson over the last three years:

Metric			Overview
Adjusted Operating Profit			Company-selected measure included in the above table. Actual adjusted operating profit compared with the budgeted target amount is a key measure used in determining payouts under our annual and long-term incentive compensation plans.
Digital Subscription and Advertising Revenue			Key metric in determining payouts under our annual incentive plan in 2022.
Digital Subscription Revenue			Key metric in determining payouts under our 2022-2024 long-term performance award program.
TSR relative to S&P 500 Index			Key metric in determining payouts under our long-term performance award program. This metric, which compares Company TSR to that of the S&P 500 Index, differs from the Peer Group TSR identified in the above table. The Compensation Committee determined to base long-term incentive compensation in part on relative S&P 500 TSR for the reasons discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
