The Associated Press has mailed proxy ballots to its members. Members can vote yes or no on a preferred slate of board of director candidates, which includes:
- Michael Golden, New York Times
- R. Jack Fishman, Lakeway Publishers
- Mary Junck, Lee Enterprises
- Steven Newhouse, Advance Publications
- Charles Pittman, Schurz Communications
- Katharine Weymouth, Washington Post
I'm not sure what happens if the majority of votes are against this group, which, given the set-up, is unlikely.
The AP board has 18 directors, elected in staggered groups of six each year. Directors are elected to three-year terms are can serve up to nine years. Junck is a current board member
