Three Media Congloms Make Hefty Sandy Donations

Disney has donated $2 million to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts: $1 million specifically for the Red Cross, and another million earmarked for "organizations working on rebuilding efforts." The company will also match any and all employee donations. Viacom is giving the Red Cross $500,000, with another half-million set aside for rebuilding as well as a $1 million employee donation matching campaign. News Corp is setting aside $500,000 for the Mayor's Fund in New York City and another $500,000 for disaster relief in New Jersey. All three companies are also encouraging donations; Disney is even running PSAs on ESPN, ABC, Radio Disney and other networks.
