Explanation of Responses:

1. This transaction reflects the conversion of restricted stock units into Class A Common Shares.

2. Ms. Peirce may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to more than 10% of the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer (including Common Voting Shares of the Issuer, which are convertible into Class A Common Shares on a share-for-share basis) due to the voting provisions of the Scripps Family Agreement dated October 15, 1992, as amended, to which the reporting person is a party. The reporting person filed a Schedule 13D with the Commission on January 24, 2013, as amended on March 18, 2013.

3. Ms. Peirce is a Trustee of The Edward W. Scripps Trust (the "Trust") and has the power, together with the other Trustees of the Trust, to vote and dispose of the shares of the Issuer held by the Trust, subject to an order entered under seal by the Court of Common Pleas, Probate Division, Butler County, Ohio on January 22, 2013 giving effect to certain of the voting provisions of the Scripps Family Agreement dated October 15, 1992, as amended. The Trust terminated on October 18, 2012 and, on March 14, 2013, the Trust distributed the reported Common Voting Shares and Class A Common Shares of the Issuer to certain residuary beneficiaries of the Trust. The remaining shares held by the Trust are expected to be distributed to the other residuary beneficiaries in the next few months. Ms. Peirce disclaims any beneficial interest in the shares held by the Trust.

4. This restricted stock unit award will vest in 2014. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common Share of the Company.
