Who Is Publishing Our News -- Knight Ridder Empire

Just trying to see who is who in the newspaper publishing industry, and share the info. Ive noticed that a great Y2K news story will print in any outlying area, and not make it into the big city press. Look below to see if a newspaper you know well is owned by this publishing empire. -- Diane

http://www.knight-ridder.com/kr_li/index.html

Knight Ridder is the nation's second-largest newspaper publisher, with products in print and online. The company publishes 31 daily newspapers in 28 U.S. markets, with a readership of 9.0 million daily and 12.6 million Sunday, and maintains 34 associated Web sites under the name Knight Ridder Real Cities.

[Note: Had to re-arrange the web-site extracted info to make sense out of it, and now need to test each web-site link they say works. Could use some help with that. Also have the Newspaper list organized alphabetically. If you want that list too, please e-mail me a request at sacredspaces@yahoo.com -- Diane]

Thanks Tom,

I'll work on those web-site links this weekend. Think I'm coming down with the flu so I'll be spending a bit less time online in the next couple days. (Unless I'm just too restless). Bummer.

Thanks for the info Diane. Philadelphia Inquirer is most read newspaper in Philly I assume, always side by side with USA Today as most commonly seen on street corners. I know all my neighbors get it.

So then, the Y2k buck stops at Knight Ridder and Gannett huh?

Hope you feel better soon Diane, don't forget to take your vitamin C.

And Zinc (Coldeze) on the off chance it's a cold

and don't forget your echinacea, with your vitamin C. It's what I take at the first signs of something and it really works for me. Hope you feel better soon!! Donna
