Jeff Bewkes, chief executive officer of Time Warner, expects the publishing division to show earnings growth and make significant progress in its digital transformation. Bewkes will hold on to Time
Inc. -- or any other asset -- "if it fits Time Warner. If they can't," he said with a shrug, "they're better candidates for private ownerships."
Bewkes' strategy hinges on taking
the world-class Time Warner brands -- which include People, Real Simple, Time and Sports Illustrated among its magazines; HBO, a thriving movie division and CNN, to name a few -- and
making them easily available on every possible distribution system. Bewkes believes strongly in the "TV everywhere" and "e-reader" programs for TV and magazines, respectively.
