(a) As disclosed in Note 1, in the first quarter of 2017 we adopted new accounting guidance that changed the classification of certain components of postretirement benefit expense. The service cost component of the postretirement benefit expense will continue to be presented as an operating expense while all other components of postretirement benefit expense will be presented as non-operating expense. The prior year period was adjusted to reflect the effects of applying the new guidance. This resulted in an increase to our Media and Corporate segments operating income in first quarter of 2016 of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
