Newspapers' fall from grace

December 18, 2007 - 3:22pm — yelvington

Forbes has a profile of McClatchy Co. after its absorption of Knight-Ridder that's titled "McClatchy's Fall From Grace." It includes this data point: "The [share price] decline leaves McClatchy, the nation's third-largest newspaper publisher by daily circulation, with a market capitalization of barely $1 billion."

That's about what McClatchy paid for the Star Tribune in 1998.
