From previous article - good statement about media co. valuation:

After-tax cash flow, a frequently used measure of a media company's performance, comprises net income plus any extraordinary items (before any tax benefits), minus gains on sales of assets, special bonuses paid to executives, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, plus or minus the deferred provision/benefit for income taxes.

Media companies make frequent acquisitions, sales and swaps, which tend to skew traditional per-share earnings results.
