Richard Parsons Value Quotations

Ted's leadership role in the formation of global media in general and AOL Time Warner in particular is uniquely significant, ... His values of journalistic independence and public service are a permanent part of who we are and what we do.

I am highly gratified that the board shares my determination to maximize AOL Time Warner's tremendous potential, ... As we address the challenges facing our company and the industries in which we operate, I will work together with the extraordinary people in this company to focus on increasing value for our customers and our shareholders.

In my view, the real source of undervaluation is neither of these things, ... The real driver of enhanced value, I think, is going to be AOL in the short term and the long term.

I do think that when clouds roll in, it takes a while for them to roll out of the sky even though a lot of good work has been done underneath, ... We're optimistic that, given time and the right type of exposure, the Street will begin to see real value there.

We feel all the more confident in pursuing a more aggressive path to create value at AOL through both its subscription and advertising business initiatives.
