                                 FIRST AMENDMENT
                                     TO THE

         A. H. Belo Corporation, a Delaware corporation, pursuant to
authorization by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, adopts
the following amendments to the Belo Savings Plan (the "Plan"), effective as of
December 31, 2000, except as otherwise indicated.

         1. Section 1.6 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

               1.6 "Company" means Belo Corp., a Delaware corporation (formerly
          A. H. Belo Corporation).

is amended in its entirety, effective as of July 1, 2000, to read as follows:

               Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Employee is classified as a
          part-time Employee in accordance with standard personnel practices of
          his Participating Employer, the term `Year of Service' means, solely
          for purposes of satisfying the eligibility requirements of Section
          2.1, the completion of 1,000 Hours of Service during the 12
          consecutive months beginning on the date the Employee first performs
          an Hour of Service, or during the 12 consecutive months beginning on
          any anniversary of such date.

         3. Section 2.1 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

               2.1 Eligibility to Participate

                           (a) Deferral Contributions. Each Employee who is not
         a Participant as of December 31, 2000, will become a Participant and
         may authorize Deferral Contributions to the Plan as of the first
         payroll period beginning on or after the latest of (i) January 1, 2001,
         (ii) the date on which the Employee first completes an Hour of Service
         and (iii) the date on which he has attained age 21, or as soon as
         administratively practicable thereafter, if he is then employed by a
         Participating Employer. An Employee who becomes a Participant pursuant
         to this Section 2.1(a) will not be eligible for Participating Employer
         matching contributions or profit sharing contributions until he
         satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 2.1(b).

                           (b) Matching and Profit Sharing Contributions. Each
         Employee who is not a Participant as of December 31, 2000, will become
         a Participant with respect to Participating Employer matching
         contributions and profit sharing contributions as of the first payroll
         period beginning on or after the date he has both attained age 21 and

<PAGE>   2

         completed a Year of Service, or as soon as administratively
         practicable thereafter, if he is then employed by a Participating
         Employer.

         4. Section 2.3 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

               2.3 Reemployment Provisions. If an Employee terminates employment
          before satisfying the eligibility requirements set forth in Section
          2.1(b) with respect to Participating Employer matching contributions
          and profit sharing contributions, and is reemployed by a Controlled
          Group Member before incurring a number of consecutive One Year Breaks
          in Service at least equal to the greater of five or his aggregate
          Years of Service, he will become a Participant with respect to such
          matching and profit sharing contributions on the later of the date
          initially determined under Section 2.1(b) or the date he is credited
          with one or more Hours of Service by a Participating Employer after
          reemployment; but if he is reemployed by a Controlled Group Member
          after incurring a number of consecutive One Year Breaks in Service at
          least equal to the greater of five or his aggregate Years of Service,
          he will be treated as a new Employee for purposes of Section 2.1(b)
          and his Hours of Service completed before his reemployment will be
          disregarded in determining when he will become a Participant with
          respect to such contributions.

         5. Section 3.1(b) of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

               (b) Modification and Suspension of Deferral Contributions. A
          Participant may increase or decrease the amount of his Deferral
          Contributions and may suspend his Deferral Contributions at any time
          during the Plan Year. A Participant who suspends his Deferral
          Contributions may again authorize Deferral Contributions to the Plan
          and such authorization will be effective as soon as administratively
          practicable. If a Participant receives a distribution on account of
          hardship pursuant to Section 6.3, such Participant's Deferral
          Contributions will automatically be suspended for a 12-month period
          following the date on which such Participant receives the hardship
          distribution.

         6. Section 3.1(c) of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

               (c) Limitations on Deferral Contributions. The sum of a
          Participant's Deferral Contributions and his elective deferrals
          (within the meaning of Code section 402(g)(3)) under any other plans,
          contracts or arrangements of any Controlled Group Member will not
          exceed $10,500 or such other amount permitted under Code section
          402(g) (as such amounts are adjusted for cost of living increases in
          the manner described in Code section 415(d)) for any taxable year of
          the Participant. A Participant's Deferral Contributions will also be
          subject to the deferral percentage limitation set forth in Section
          10.6. In the event a Participant's Deferral Contributions and other
          elective deferrals (whether or not under a plan, contract or
          arrangement of a Controlled Group Member) for any taxable year exceed
          the foregoing $10,500 limitation, the excess allocated by the
          Participant to Deferral Contributions (adjusted for Trust Fund
          earnings and losses in the manner described in Section 10.6(d)) may,
          in the discretion of the Committee, be distributed to the Participant
          no later than April 15 following the close of such taxable year. The
          amount of Deferral Contributions distributed to a Participant for a
          Plan Year pursuant to

                                       2

<PAGE>   3

         this Section will be reduced by any excess Deferral Contributions
         previously distributed to him pursuant to Section 10.6(c) for the same
         Plan Year.

         7. Section 3.2 of the Plan ("Participating Employer Matching
Contributions") is amended by the addition of the following introductory
sentence:

         The provisions of this Section will apply to only those Participants
         who have satisfied the eligibility requirements of Section 2.1(b).

         8. The first sentence of Section 3.3 of the Plan ("Profit Sharing
Contributions") is amended in its entirety, effective as of July 1, 2000, to
read as follows:

         The Participating Employers will pay to the Trustee as a profit sharing
         contribution for each payroll period an amount equal to 2% of the
         Compensation paid on and after July 1, 2000, to each Participant who is
         eligible to receive a 75% matching contribution under Section 3.2(a)
         and who is employed by a Participating Employer on the last day of the
         payroll period.

         9. The first sentence of Section 4.1 of the Plan ("Establishment of
Accounts") is amended to read as follows:

         The Committee will establish a Deferral Contribution Account for each
         Participant, and to the extent applicable, a Matching Contribution
         Account, a Profit Sharing Account and a Transfer Account.

         10. Section 4.4(b)(ii) of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read
as follows:

                  (ii) Special Rule for Deferral Contributions to Purchase
         Company Stock. Deferral Contributions that are to be invested in
         Company Stock will be invested by the Trustee in short-term
         interest-bearing instruments pending the purchase of Company Stock with
         such contributions. Interest earned on such Deferral Contributions will
         be accumulated until allocated to Participants' Deferral Contribution
         Accounts in the manner provided in this paragraph. As soon as
         practicable after the last day of each calendar quarter, the Trustee
         will purchase additional shares of Company Stock with accumulated
         interest, and the additional shares of Company Stock will be credited
         to each Deferral Contribution Account by the Committee as net income of
         the Trust Fund, in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner, based on the
         ratio that the amount of each eligible Participant's Deferral
         Contribution Account that is invested in Company Stock as of the last
         day of such calendar quarter bears to the total amount of all eligible
         Participants' Deferral Contribution Accounts that is invested in
         Company Stock as of the last day of such calendar quarter. For purposes
         of this paragraph, an "eligible Participant" with respect to a calendar
         quarter is a Participant who is an Employee on the last day of the
         calendar quarter and who has invested a portion of his Deferral
         Contribution Account in Company Stock as of the last day of the
         calendar quarter.

         Participant, the following distribution provisions will apply to limit
         the Beneficiary's ability to delay distributions. If the Participant
         dies after distribution of his benefit has begun, the remaining portion
         of his benefit will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as
         under the method of distribution being used prior to the Participant's
         death; but if he dies before distribution of his benefit commences, his
         entire benefit will be distributed in a single lump sum payment no
         later than December 31 of the fifth calendar year following the date of
         the Participant's death. If the designated Beneficiary is the
         Participant's surviving spouse, the date that distribution is required
         will not be earlier than December 31 of the calendar year in which the
         Participant would have attained age 70 1/2, and, if the spouse dies
         before payment is made, distribution will be made to the spouse's
         Beneficiary in accordance with the preceding sentence with the required
         distribution date measured from the date of the spouse's death. Any
         amount paid to a child of the Participant will be treated as if it had
         been paid to the surviving spouse if the amount becomes payable to the
         surviving spouse when the child reaches the age of majority.

         Executed at Dallas, Texas, this 20th day of December, 2000.
