Meredith may be the true domestic goddess of media. A home and family media mogul, Meredith publishes magazines (Better Homes and Gardens, Ladies' Home Journal), special interest publications, and books. It is also active in radio and TV with more than a dozen stations across the US. In addition, Meredith operates Web sites and offers integrated marketing services. In 2005 Meredith purchased the Parents, Child, Fitness, and Family Circle magazines from Bertelsmann's Gruner + Jahr for $350 million. (It later closed the print edition of Child.) Family members of the late E. T. Meredith III -- grandson of the company's founder -- control more than 50% of the company's voting power.
