ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
---------------------

Four Accounting Periods Ended October 7, 2001 (Third Quarter, 2001) Compared to
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Four Accounting Periods Ended October 8, 2000 (Third Quarter, 2000)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated revenue for the third quarter, 2001 of $252.2 million was slightly
lower than the same quarter last year of $256.8 million. Net earnings of $15.4
million were $4.4 million lower than the same quarter in 2000.

JOURNAL SENTINEL INC. (Journal Sentinel) had revenues of $64.0 million in the
third quarter, 2001, which was $8.3 million lower than the third quarter in
2000. Pretax earnings of $4.1 million in 2001 were $5.5 million less than the
third quarter in 2000. In addition to $0.2 million in "Stay and Go" voluntary
workforce reduction expense, Journal Sentinel had $0.9 million in expense from
involuntary workforce reductions of about 40 employees.

JOURNAL BROADCAST GROUP recorded revenue and pretax earnings in the third
quarter, 2001 of $40.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively. Revenue from
television operations was $17.0 million in 2001, a decrease of $7.0 million from
the third quarter of 2000. Pretax earnings were $2.2 million in the third
quarter, 2001 compared to $8.4 million in 2000. Uninterrupted news coverage
following the September 11 terrorist attacks directly impacted both advertising
revenue and earnings for the television stations. Revenue from the radio
operations of the Journal Broadcast Group was $23.3 million in 2001 compared to
$23.6 million in 2000. Pretax earnings were $2.6 million in the third quarter,
2001 compared to $2.1 million in 2000.

NORLIGHT TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. (Norlight) had revenue and pretax earnings in
the third quarter, 2001 of $46.9 million and $15.0 million, respectively.
Revenue and pretax earnings were both 20.2% higher in the third quarter, 2001
compared to the same quarter last year. Growth in the business continues;
however, the sluggish economy and the financial difficulties in the
telecommunication industry have impacted the growth opportunities that existed
in previous quarters.

IPC COMMUNICATION SERVICES (IPC) recorded revenue of $40.4 million in 2001
compared to $35.1 million in 2000. Pretax earnings of $1.8 million were recorded
in the third quarter of 2001 compared to $1.3 million in the same quarter, 2000.
In November, IPC announced it is closing its operations in Ireland. The costs of
shutdown are unknown at this time; however, they are not expected to be
material.

ADD INC. had revenue of $31.9 million in the third quarter, 2001, down $2.2
million from the same quarter last year. A pretax loss of $0.1 million in 2001
compared to breakeven results in the same quarter in 2000.

NORTHSTAR PRINT GROUP (NorthStar) recorded revenue of $17.7 million in the third
quarter, 2001 compared to $18.5 million in the same quarter last year. Pretax
earnings of $0.5 million was recorded in 2001 compared to a pretax loss of $0.3
million in the third quarter, 2000.

PRIMENET MARKETING SERVICES (PrimeNet) had revenue of $11.0 million in 2001, an
$0.8 million increase over 2000 revenue of $10.2 million. A pretax loss of $0.3
million was recorded in 2001 compared to a pretax loss of $0.2 million in the
same quarter last year.

Ten Accounting Periods Ended October 7, 2001 Compared to Ten Accounting Periods
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ended October 8, 2000
---------------------

Consolidated revenue for the ten accounting periods ended October 7, 2001 of
$632.1 million was slightly lower than the same period last year of $634.7
million. The soft economy combined with the effects from the September 11
terrorist attacks had an unfavorable impact on all of our Company's revenue and
earnings results in the three quarters ended October 7, 2001. While there were
increases in revenue at Norlight, IPC and PrimeNet, there were offsetting
decreases in revenue at Journal Sentinel, Journal Broadcast Group, Add Inc., and
NorthStar. The terrorist attacks significantly impacted the newspaper and
broadcast businesses. The continuous news coverage on television and radio
stations caused a loss of revenue in the third quarter of 2001. Many newspaper
and broadcast advertisers cut advertising spending dramatically after the
terrorist attacks. For the remainder of the year, depending on the extent of the
U. S. response to the attack and possible additional terrorist activities, ad
spending may show an accelerated decline.

Consolidated year-to-date net earnings were $36.9 million, down 26.8% from $50.4
million for the same period last year. The sluggish economy and the impact on
our businesses from the September terrorist attacks negatively impacted the
earnings recorded in the three quarters of 2001 compared to the same period last
year. Because of the Company's concentration in media outlets and direct mail
marketing, the terrorist attacks and the subsequent anthrax scares will likely
have a negative impact on year-end earnings.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, cont.

In addition, the Company recorded expenses in 2001 of $3.3 million that were
associated with the sale of certain of the assets of the Milwaukee division of
NorthStar and the consolidation of two of IPC's United States production
facilities into one operations unit. In addition, the increase in reserves for
litigation of $1.3 million over the same period last year, the costs of
workforce reductions at Journal Sentinel and Add Inc. of $1.6 million, and
increases in bad debt writeoffs of $1.0 million at Norlight were recorded in
year-to-date results. In the first quarter of 2001, there was one less Sunday
newspaper. These items reduced year to date pretax earnings by $8.3 million
compared to last year.

JOURNAL SENTINEL had year-to-date pretax earnings of $18.1 million, down 42%
from $31.1 million in the same period last year. The comparison is adversely
impacted by the expense recorded for both involuntary and voluntary workforce
reductions in 2001 of $1.5 million and one additional Sunday newspaper in 2000.
The impact of these items was $2.7 million. Journal Sentinel recorded additional
costs related to publishing four extra editions of the daily Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel following the September 11 terrorist attacks. Additional earnings
shortfall can be attributed to a revenue shortfall. Revenue year-to-date was
$168.5 million, down $15.1 million from $183.6 million last year. The shortfall
in revenue is attributed to two revenue categories. Classified advertising and
circulation revenue declined by $14.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
The decrease in classified advertising is primarily due to the decline in
employment advertising. Year-to-date retail advertising revenue in 2001 was
about equal to the same period last year; however, it is unknown how many
advertisers reduced or eliminated their newspaper advertisements following the
terrorist attacks. Included in the revenue shortfall is approximately $2 million
of revenue from the extra Sunday newspaper in the first quarter of 2000.

Progress on a new production facility is on time and virtually on budget. The
building that will house the new KBA Comander presses and the GMA inserting
equipment is expected to be completed in December 2001. Press installation,
which is nearly a yearlong process, will begin in early 2002 as the presses
begin to arrive from Germany. The Company expects to complete this project by
early 2003.

JOURNAL BROADCAST GROUP recorded revenue of $99.9 million for the ten periods
ended October 7, 2001, an 11.5% decrease from 2000 revenue of $112.8 million.
Pretax earnings in three quarters of 2001 were $8.9 million compared to $20.8
million in 2000.

Revenue from the television operations for three quarters in 2001 was $45.2
million, compared with $58.2 million in three quarters of 2000, a decrease of
22.3%. The television advertising market slowdown has affected the networks,
cable and syndicated programming which in turn has impacted all four of the
Company's television stations. Television earnings before taxes were $6.1
million in three quarters in 2001 compared with $18.7 million in 2000. In
addition, the uninterrupted news coverage following the September 11 terrorist
attacks directly impacted both advertising revenue and earnings for the
television stations that will not be recovered in 2001.

In August 2001, Journal Broadcast Group signed a letter of intent to purchase
KIVI-TV, an ABC affiliate serving the Boise, Idaho market. Pending FCC approval
of the transaction, the Company anticipates the purchase will be completed
before the end of 2001.

Revenue from the radio operations was $54.7 million and $54.6 million in the
three quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Radio operations reported pretax
earnings of $2.8 million in the third quarter ended October 7, 2001 compared
with $2.1 million in the same period last year. The combination of operating
improvements in the Tucson, Knoxville and Boise radio markets and tight cost
controls in all markets has resulted in earnings improvement. The rescheduling
of the National Football League games originally scheduled for the weekend
following the September 11th attacks will defer the advertising revenue WTMJ-AM
in Milwaukee would have earned during the broadcast of the Green Bay Packer game
to the first week in January 2002.

NORLIGHT grew year-to-date revenue by 24.2% over a year ago, to $115.8 million
from $93.3 million in 2000. Pretax earnings were $37.2 million, a 27.4% increase
over 2000. Norlight has experienced steady and consistent growth in the
commercial and wholesale carrier business but future growth could be limited by
effects of the sluggish economy and the financial difficulties in the
telecommunication industry.

IPC had revenue of $94.7 million, a 9.2% increase over the same period last
year. However, IPC reported a pretax loss of $1.2 million in three quarters of
2001 compared to pretax earnings of $3.8 million in the same period last year.
Included in the pretax loss in 2001 are $2.1 million of consolidation costs in
transitioning the Eastern and Western Regions into one operational unit called
US Operations. In November, IPC announced it is closing its operations in
Ireland. The costs of shutdown are unknown at this time; however, they are not
expected to be material.

                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, cont.

Add Inc. recorded year-to-date revenue of $82.0 million and $85.4 million in the
three quarters of 2001 and 2000, respectively. Revenue increases in the Northern
Wisconsin, Vermont, Florida and Connecticut publication regions, the Fox Cities
Newspapers and the Waupaca, Wisconsin print plant were offset by decreases in
the Ohio and Louisiana publication regions and the CNI group in Southeastern
Wisconsin. Add Inc.'s help wanted and automotive advertising revenue and its
earnings have been adversely affected by the soft economy, but its overall
year-to-date earnings have not changed significantly from the same period in
2000 because of several successful revenue generating plans and aggressive cost
reduction measures implemented in 2001. Add Inc. recorded year-to-date pretax
earnings of $0.4 million and a pretax loss of $0.5 million in 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

NORTHSTAR recorded year-to-date revenue of $43.8 million compared with $46.6
million in 2000, a decrease of 6.1%. For the ten periods in 2001, NorthStar
recorded a pretax loss of $946,000 compared to breakeven results in 2000. These
results are impacted by the March 2, 2001 sale of certain of the assets of
NorthStar's Milwaukee operations. NorthStar's label operations continue to show
strong, steady performance. In the three quarters of 2001, the label division
had revenue of $40.9 million compared to $33.3 million in the same period last
year. The label division successfully secured new business from existing
customers as well as new customers in 2001. The division has reported
year-to-date pretax earnings of $0.8 million in 2001 compared to breakeven
earnings in 2000.

At PRIMENET, year-to-date revenue of $27.3 million increased 4.4% from $26.2
million in the same period last year. A pretax loss of $525,000 was recorded in
three quarters of 2001 compared to pretax earnings of $179,000 in 2000. Both the
St. Paul and the Milwaukee operations recorded a pretax loss while the
Clearwater facility recorded pretax earnings of approximately $60,000 in the
three quarters of 2001.

Nonoperating Income and Taxes
-----------------------------

Net interest and preferred stock dividends increased to $1.2 million in the
first three quarters of 2001 compared to $684,000 in the same period last year.
The increase is attributed to an increase in cash and cash equivalents and
interest received from the refund of federal corporation income taxes. The
year-to-date effective tax rate was 39.34% in 2001 compared to 39.62% in the
same period in 2000. The change is the result of implementing strategies that
reduced state income taxes, the impact of foreign net operating losses and
permanent tax differences.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash provided by operations was $77.3 million in the first three quarters of
2001 compared to $97.0 million in the first three quarters of 2000. The decrease
in cash from operations primarily came from decreased earnings and changes in
current assets and liabilities such as changes in accounts receivable, accounts
payable and other assets and liability balances. Cash from operations primarily
is used to invest in capital projects, pay dividends to unitholders and for
general corporate purposes.

Cash used for investing purposes was $59.7 million year-to-date in 2001 compared
to $61.6 million during the same time period in 2000. The Company continues to
invest in technology that is intended to provide additional capacity to the
Norlight fiber optic network and the building of the new Journal Sentinel
production facility. Cash used for financing was $6.9 million in three quarters
of 2001 compared with $36.6 million in the same period in 2000. The Company sold
more units from treasury than it purchased in 2001 compared with the same period
in 2000 where treasury units purchased by the Company were greater than the
units sold. The Company paid cash dividends of $29.4 million in 2001 compared to
$27.1 million in 2000. As of October 7, 2001, the Company had no borrowings
under its $45 million credit facility. The Company anticipates a need to borrow
in the fourth quarter under the line of credit.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
--------------------------------

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Accounting for Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (the Statements). The Statements require new accounting for
business combinations that, among other things, will change the accounting for
goodwill and other intangibles recorded in business acquisitions. The Company
plans to adopt SFAS No. 141 as of the effective date of the statement and
estimates that the effect of the adoption will not be material to its results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.

                                       4

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, cont.

An important part of SFAS No. 142 is that amortization of goodwill and broadcast
licenses determined to have indefinite lives will cease, effective January 1,
2002, for assets acquired prior to July 1, 2001. In addition, goodwill and
broadcast licenses acquired after June 30, 2001 will be subject immediately to
the nonamortization provisions of this statement. As our amortization of
goodwill and broadcast licenses is a significant non-cash expense that we
currently record, in general, SFAS No. 142 should have a materially favorable
impact on the Company's results of operations and, ultimately, its net equity.

In accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 142, the Company is currently in
the process of identifying its "reporting units" and measuring the fair value of
each reporting unit in order to determine if there is impairment in the
Company's goodwill and broadcast licenses. At this point, there could be
impairment in the Company's reporting units. The impairment could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and, ultimately,
its net equity in the first quarter of 2002. This impairment loss is related to
the change in accounting principle with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. The
Company expects it should not have to recognize such losses on a regular basis
in the future.

Ninety percent of the Company's common stock is owned by the Journal Employees'
Stock Trust (the Trust), which offers employees of the Company the opportunity
to indirectly own a part of the Company by owning units of beneficial interest
(units) in shares of the Company's common stock. Under the agreement that
governs the Trust, the price at which holders may buy or offer to sell units
under the Trust is determined by a formula based on the net equity (which the
Trust refers to as "book value") and net income of the Company. As a result, to
the extent SFAS 142 materially affects the Company's net income and net equity,
it would also affect the price of units.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144. "
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The Statement
must be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001; however,
early adoption is encouraged. The Company is currently researching the most
appropriate time for adoption.
