Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation —The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Meredith Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Meredith or the Company), after eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions. Meredith does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company's use of special-purpose entities is limited to Meredith Funding Corporation, whose activities are fully consolidated in Meredith's condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in Meredith's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended June 30, 2015 , filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 , and for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , are unaudited but, in management's opinion, include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2015 , were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. Adopted Accounting Pronouncements —In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments related to business combinations. The new guidance removes the requirement to restate prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts. Rather, adjustments to the provisional amounts are to be recognized in the reporting period they are identified. In the period of adjustment, the portion that would have been recorded in a previous reporting period is to be presented separately on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes. Prospective adoption of the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The adoption of this guidance requires a change in the format of disclosure only and it did not have an impact on our results of operations or cash flows. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Pending Merger Transaction | Pending Merger Transaction On September 7, 2015, the Company and Media General, Inc. (Media General) entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the companies will combine to form Meredith Media General. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Media General will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of the Company in a cash and stock transaction in which each share of Meredith common stock and Class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive $34.57 in cash and 1.5214 shares of Meredith Media General voting common stock. Upon closing, it is estimated that Media General shareholders will own 65 percent and Meredith shareholders will own 35 percent of the fully-diluted shares of Meredith Media General. The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and Media General. It is anticipated that stations in six overlapping markets will be swapped or otherwise divested to address regulatory considerations. As set forth in the merger agreement, the closing of the merger agreement is subject to certain customary conditions, including but not limited to, approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust act, the absence of legal barriers to the closing of the merger, adoption of the agreement by the shareholders of Meredith and of Media General, and certain customary third party consents. The Company and Media General will hold special shareholder meetings to vote on the merger. The merger is expected to close by June 30, 2016. The Company incurred $12.7 million of investment banking, legal, accounting, and other professional fees and expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 related to the pending merger. These costs are included in the selling, general, and administrative line in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The limited tax deductibility of certain of these merger-related expenses also caused an increase in the fiscal 2016 first quarter effective tax rate. For more information concerning the merger, refer to the Current Report on Form 8‑K filed with the SEC on September 9, 2015. |

At September 30, 2015 , $175.2 million of accounts receivable net of reserves was outstanding under the agreement. Meredith Funding Corporation in turn may sell receivable interests to a major national bank. In consideration of the sale, Meredith receives cash and a subordinated note, bearing interest at the prime rate, 3.25 percent at September 30, 2015 , from Meredith Funding Corporation. The agreement is structured as a true sale under which the creditors of Meredith Funding Corporation will be entitled to be satisfied out of the assets of Meredith Funding Corporation prior to any value being returned to Meredith or its creditors. The accounts of Meredith Funding Corporation are fully consolidated in Meredith's condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2015, we renewed our asset-backed bank facility for an additional two -year period on terms substantially similar to those previously in place. The renewed facility will expire in October 2017. The Company holds interest rate swap agreements to hedge variable interest rate risk on the $250.0 million floating-rate senior notes and on $50.0 million of the term loan. The expiration of the swaps is as follows: $50.0 million in August 2018, $100.0 million in March 2019, and $150.0 million in August 2019. Under the swaps the Company will pay fixed rates of interest ( 1.36 percent on the swap maturing in August 2018, 1.53 percent on the swap maturing in March 2019, and 1.76 percent on the swaps maturing in August 2019) and receive variable rates of interest based on the one to three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) ( 0.22 percent on the swap maturing in August 2018, 0.33 percent on the swap maturing in March 2019, and 0.33 percent on the swaps maturing in August 2019 as of September 30, 2015 ) on the $300.0 million notional amount of indebtedness. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of the hedging relationships on an ongoing basis by recalculating changes in fair value of the derivatives and related hedged items independently. Unrealized gains or losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive gain (loss) to the extent the cash flow hedges are effective. The amount of the swap that offsets the effects of interest rate changes on the related debt is subsequently reclassified into interest expense. Any ineffective portions on cash flow hedges are recorded in interest expense. No material ineffectiveness existed at September 30, 2015 . The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount the Company would pay or receive to terminate the swap agreements. At September 30, 2015 , the swaps had a fair value of $5.8 million liability. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to the swap agreements. This exposure is managed through diversification and the monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparties. There was no potential loss that the Company would incur on the interest rate swaps if the counterparties were to fail to meet their obligations under the agreements at September 30, 2015 . Given the strong creditworthiness of the counterparties, management does not expect any of them to fail to meet their obligations. Additionally, the concentration of risk with any individual counterparty is not considered significant at September 30, 2015 . |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize upon disposition. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, which are described below: • Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable ; • Level 3 Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates. The following table sets forth the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments: September 30, 2015 June 30, 2015 (In thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Broadcast rights payable $ 22,251 $ 21,361 $ 7,774 $ 7,490 Long-term debt 819,375 821,353 795,000 797,121 The fair value of broadcast rights payable was determined using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the Company's current borrowing rate with inputs included in Level 3. The fair value of long-term debt was determined using the present value of expected future cash flows using borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities with inputs included in Level 2. The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: (In thousands) September 30, 2015 June 30, 2015 Other assets Interest rate swaps $ — $ 1,139 Accrued expenses and other liabilities Contingent consideration 800 800 Interest rate swaps 3,278 3,295 Other noncurrent liabilities Contingent consideration 59,735 60,735 Interest rate swaps 2,498 — The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined based on discounted cash flows derived using market observable inputs including swap curves that are included in Level 2. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined based on probability-weighted discounted cash flow models that include significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements. Details of changes in the fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration are as follows: Three months ended September 30, 2015 2014 (in thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 61,535 $ 1,700 Change in present value of contingent consideration (1) (1,000 ) — Balance at end of period $ 60,535 $ 1,700 (1) Change in present value of contingent consideration is recorded in the selling, general, and administrative expense line on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and is comprised of changes in estimated earn out payments based on projections of performance and the amortization of the present value discount. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Financial Information about Industry Segments | Financial Information about Industry Segments Meredith is a diversified media company focused primarily on the home and family marketplace. On the basis of products and services, the Company has established two reportable segments: national media and local media. There have been no changes in the basis of segmentation since June 30, 2015 . There are no material intersegment transactions. There are two principal financial measures reported to the chief executive officer for use in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. Those measures are operating profit and EBITDA. Operating profit for segment reporting, disclosed below, is revenues less operating costs excluding unallocated corporate expenses. Segment operating expenses include allocations of certain centrally incurred costs such as employee benefits, occupancy, information systems, accounting services, internal legal staff, and human resources administration. These costs are allocated based on actual usage or other appropriate methods, primarily number of employees. Unallocated corporate expenses are corporate overhead expenses not directly attributable to the operating groups. In accordance with authoritative guidance on disclosures about segments of an enterprise and related information, EBITDA is not presented below. The following table presents financial information by segment: Three months ended September 30, 2015 2014 (In thousands) Revenues National media $ 258,199 $ 246,326 Local media 126,467 124,858 Total revenues $ 384,666 $ 371,184 Segment profit National media $ 22,803 $ 28,895 Local media 29,327 36,312 Unallocated corporate (23,118 ) (12,355 ) Income from operations 29,012 52,852 Interest expense, net (5,313 ) (4,242 ) Earnings before income taxes $ 23,699 $ 48,610 Depreciation and amortization National media $ 4,565 $ 3,625 Local media 9,978 8,715 Unallocated corporate 537 429 Total depreciation and amortization $ 15,080 $ 12,769 |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Meredith Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (Meredith or the Company), after eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions. Meredith does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company's use of special-purpose entities is limited to Meredith Funding Corporation, whose activities are fully consolidated in Meredith's condensed consolidated financial statements. |
Basis of Accounting | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, which are included in Meredith's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended June 30, 2015 , filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2015 , and for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , are unaudited but, in management's opinion, include all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2015 , were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. |
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Adopted Accounting Pronouncements —In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments related to business combinations. The new guidance removes the requirement to restate prior periods to reflect adjustments made to provisional amounts. Rather, adjustments to the provisional amounts are to be recognized in the reporting period they are identified. In the period of adjustment, the portion that would have been recorded in a previous reporting period is to be presented separately on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes. Prospective adoption of the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The adoption of this guidance requires a change in the format of disclosure only and it did not have an impact on our results of operations or cash flows. |
