Last week's trivia answer

I'm a large media and education company, founded in 1877. Along with the flagship newspaper that bears my name, my properties include Newsweek magazine, Slate.com, BudgetTravel.com, Sprig.com, CourseAdvisor, television stations in Detroit, Houston, Miami, Orlando, San Antonio and Jacksonville, and the Cable ONE cable television system. I also own Kaplan, which helps students prepare for a variety of standardized tests, among other educational and career services. (Kaplan alone raked in more than $2 billion in 2007.) There's a popular John Philip Sousa march named after me, and Richard Nixon didn't particularly like me. Who am I?

( Answer: The Washington Post Co. )
