Item 5.07.		Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of A. H. Belo Corporation (the “Company” or “A. H. Belo”) was held on May 18, 2011, in Dallas, Texas. The following are the final voting results and a brief description of each matter submitted to the Company’s shareholders at that meeting. Each proposal is described in more detail in the Company’s Proxy Statement, dated April 4, 2011.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors. The shareholders of the Company elected each of the four director nominees nominated by the Company’s Board of Directors, as follows: Ronald D.

Caldera was elected as a Class II director and is eligible to serve a two-year term until the 2013 annual meeting; and Robert W. Decherd and Tyree B. (Ty) Miller were elected as Class III directors and each is eligible to serve a three-year term until the 2014 annual meeting.

The following is a tabulation of the voting results with respect to each director nominee:

Proposal 3: Approval of an Advisory Resolution on Executive Compensation (Say-on-Pay). The Company’s shareholders approved the following advisory resolution by affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power represented at the annual meeting and entitled to vote:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders of A. H. Belo Corporation (“A. H. Belo” or the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of A. H. Belo’s named executive officers as disclosed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative contained in the 2011 proxy statement.”

The shareholder vote was as follows:

						Broker
For		Against		Abstain		Non-Votes
29,750,174		4,036,243		416,531		4,307,274

Proposal 4: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Say-on-Pay Votes (Say-on-Frequency). The results of the shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of future say-on-pay votes were:

								Broker

7,687,376		33,608		26,472,108		9,856		4,307,274

The choice of every three years was approved by the Company’s shareholders, having received the affirmative vote of more than a majority of the voting power represented at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on this proposal. In light of this result, the Board has decided to conduct the future advisory votes on executive compensation every three years. Accordingly, the next shareholder advisory say-on-pay vote is scheduled to be held at the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of shareholders.
