McClatchy loses £142m in three months

McClatchy, the second largest newspaper owner in the US, has reported a $279.3m (£142m) fourth quarter loss in the face of falling ad revenues. The period saw the sale of the company's largest newspaper, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, for $530m (£270m), well below the $1.2bn (£612m) it paid for the paper in 1998. McClatchy's ceo, Gary Pruitt, said more ad declines were expected but they will be offset by greater-than-expected cost savings from integrating the 20 Knight Ridder papers it acquired last year.
