Reporting on the McClatchy Co. of Sacramento’s purchase of the Knight Ridder Inc. newspaper group, the San Francisco Chronicle turned to UGA journalism professor Conrad Fink for commentary. “This is a terrific buy for McClatchy,” he is quoted. “It elevates them tremendously in one big gulp. . . This is going to be a great relief to a lot of people who are interested in high-quality journalism. McClatchy has a reputation as being not only a well-run company, but one that prides itself on putting out good newspapers.”
