No. 584404107                       13D                       Page 5 of 7 Pages

          This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements, to the extent indicated,
Items 1, 3, 5 and 6 of the statement on, and Amendment No. 4 to, Schedule 13D
previously filed by the D. Tennant Bryan Revocable Declaration of Trust (the
"Revocable Trust"), J. Stewart Bryan III, and the D. Tennant Bryan Media Trust
(the "Media Trust") with respect to Class A Common Stock of Media General, Inc.
Defined terms herein have the same meaning as in the original statement on, or
Amendments to, Schedule 13D.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          Since the filing of Amendment 4 to Schedule 13D, shares acquired or
disposed of by J. Stewart Bryan III have been primarily in connection with
gifts, bequests, and the operation of various Company employee benefit plans,
including the grant and exercise of stock options and the purchase of shares
under a 401 (k) plan.

          The net decrease in ownership percentage reported by the Group in this
Amendment 5 is primarily the result of various dispositions of a total of
345,357 shares by the Revocable Trust as final payment of the federal estate
taxes imposed upon the death of D. Tennant Bryan, and the distribution of
865,885 Class A shares from the Revocable Trust to third party beneficiaries.
There has also been a net increase (as of October 28, 2002) of 221,110 in the
number of outstanding Class A shares since the filing of Amendment 4.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a)       The aggregate number and percentage of Class A and Class B
                    Common Stock of Media General, Inc. (based on 22,641,175
                    Class A Shares and 555,942 Class B shares outstanding as of
                    October 28, 2002) for Mr. Bryan and each trust are as
                    follows:

                    Revocable Trust         NONE                        0%

                    J. Stewart Bryan III    1,191,962 Class A        5.26%*
                                               87,708 Class B       15.78%
                                            (includes 46,076 Class A in the
                                            Company 401 (k) plan and 179,433
                                            Class A subject to exercisable
                                            options as of October 28, 2002 but
                                            does not include shares held by
                                            the Media Trust)

                    Media Trust              373,000 Class A         1.65%*
                                             373,000 Class B        67.09%

          *  The Class A total for J. Stewart Bryan III includes the number of
Class B shares held by him, and the Class A shares reported by the Media Trust
are equal to the number of Class B shares listed, since Class B shares are
convertible into an equal number of Class A shares at the option of the holder.



(b)  Mr. Bryan shares the power to vote and dispose of the shares listed for the
     Revocable Trust with his two sisters, who are also trustees. Mr. Bryan is
     the sole trustee and has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares
     held by the Media Trust. Of the shares listed for Mr. Bryan, he has the
     sole power to vote and dispose of 711,962 Class A shares (55,200 of which
     are held in trust) and all of the Class B shares; and shares the power to
     vote and dispose of 480,000 Class A shares held by two separate trusts, as
     follows:

     Co-Trustee                             Shares
     ----------                             ------

     Mary Tennant Bryan Perkins             240,000
     Florence Bryan Fowlkes                 240,000

(c)  See response in Item 3.

Item 6. As reported in Amendment No. 2 to this Schedule 13D, the Revocable Trust
entered into a zero-cost collar with Suntrust Bank as to 220,000 shares of Class
A, with an expiration date of March 6, 2003, as part of a Credit Agreement to
provide funds for the payment of estate taxes incurred upon the death of D.
Tennant Bryan. Upon termination of the Revocable Trust (see Item 3), J. Stewart
Bryan III has pledged 73,334 Class A shares as collateral under terms of the
Credit Agreement.
