I would like a comprehensive list of everyone who is on the board of
directors for the Associated Press.  Short bios/resumes of these
members, if available, would be highly appreciated too.  I will tip $3
extra for the bios.
Thanks!
Jessica

Hello jessica14203,

The current board of directors consists of Burl Osborne, publisher
emeritus of The Dallas Morning News; Michael E. Reed, president and
chief executive officer of Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.; William
Dean Singleton, vice chairman and CEO of MediaNews Group Inc.; H.
Graham Woodlief, vice president of Media General Inc.; and Dennis J.
FitzSimons, chairman of Tribune Co.

"Five members elected to AP board; two appointed to 2-year terms" (4/18/2005)
Associated Press
http://www.ap.org/pages/annual/am05_3.html

I searched on AP's own site and the sites of the companies mentioned
above for biographies, but found only one:

"Dennis J. FitzSimons"
Tribune Company
http://www.tribune.com/about/bios/fitzsimons.html

Current biographies may be out there; but it may take some extra
digging through Google or other search engines to find them, or to
piece them together from several sources.

Searched on Google for:

"associated press"
"board of directors"
burl osborne
dallas morning news
site:ap.org

Once I found the article I've cited, I searched for the persons and
companies mentioned to seek current biographies.

Excellent, thank you so much for your help!

A complete list (and photographs) of AP's 21 directors as of year-end
2004 can be found at page 15 of this linked document:

Thanks so much!

Markj's comment is a necessary supplement to my answer.  (I had seen
the information that markj cited, but didn't realize its
significance.)  The five members of the board that I mentioned are
clearly not the only members.  Even the article I cited mentioned two
other members: Joe Hladky, chairman and publisher of the Gazette Co.
of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and David R. Lord, president of Pioneer
Newspapers Inc.  Sorry for the incomplete information in my answer.
