 PROFILE
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Knight Ridder is the #3 newspaper publisher in the US (behind Gannett and Tribune), with such heavy hitters as the "Detroit Free Press, The Philadelphia Inquirer," and "The Miami Herald" in its lineup. A pioneer in online news, the company operates a network of Web sites (through its Knight Ridder Digital unit) along with its 32 daily and 25 non-daily newspapers across the US. Knight Ridder has been involved in cable, radio, and specialized information services, but in recent years the company has divested these noncore operations and returned its focus to newspapers. The company's newspapers have about 9 million daily readers and 13 million on Sundays.
