The McClatchy Company, or simply McClatchy, is an American publishing company incorporated under Delaware's General Corporation Law. Originally based in Sacramento, California, U.S., the publication became a subsidiary of Chatham Asset Management, headquartered in Chatham Borough, New Jersey as a result of its 2020 bankruptcy. The publication operates 29 daily newspapers in fourteen states and has an average weekday circulation of 1.6 million and Sunday circulation of 2.4 million.[2] In 2006, it purchased Knight Ridder, which at the time was the second-largest newspaper company in the United States (Gannett was, and remains, the largest). In addition to its daily newspapers, McClatchy also operates several websites and community papers, as well as a news agency, McClatchy DC Bureau, focused on political news from Washington, D.C.
