The E. W. Scripps Company was incorporated on December 1, 1987, but it traces its history to November 2, 1878, when Edward Willis Scripps published the first issue of the Cleveland Penny Press. E.W. Scripps Company offers benefits like tuition reimbursement, and in the past it has offered part-time jobs.

On November 23, 1922, the company was placed in trust for E. W. Scripps' children and grandchildren. The company's shares were divided into two types: Class A Common Shares, which were traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and common voting shares, which were not publicly traded and elected a majority of the company's directors. A number of media companies, including the New York Times Company and the Washington Post Company, are governed by this system so that the descendants of the company's founders can keep control of the company.

Please post the email address of the West African scammer claiming to be Victoria Lynn Williams. Others may be searching for the email address. Also if the name you use in the interview is your real name, please remove it.

Next person who is targeted by this scammer, don't tell the "interviewer" that it's a scam. Just ignore further communication from the scammer.
