Hearst Sees Fastest Growth in Business Information

Variety: What’s the fastest-growing business at Hearst? Not ESPN. Not its 30 TV stations. Not its recent investments in Vice Media or BuzzFeed. The rock star at Hearst at present is Homecare Homebase, a company that provides the software used by home health care agencies. “Business information and business services — that’s the fastest growing part of the company,” Hearst CEO Steve Swartz said.
