The McClatchy Company 2007 Annual Report A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS THE McCLATCHY COMPANY is the third largest newspaper company in the United States, with 30 daily newspapers, approximately 50 non-dailies, and direct marketing and direct mail operations. McClatchy also operates leading local websites in each of its markets which extend its audience reach.

McClatchy also has a portfolio of premium digital assets. The company owns and operates McClatchy Interactive, an interactive operation that provides websites with content, publishing tools and software development. McClatchy owns 14.4% of CareerBuilder, the nation’s largest online job site and owns 25.6% of Classified Ventures, a newspaper industry partnership that offers two of the nation’s premier classified websites: the auto website, cars.com, and the rental site, apartments.com.

THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 1 A BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS We are focused on four major areas: driving new revenues, with a particular emphasis on online advertising; growing total audience; providing high quality public service journalism; and restructuring our costs. PAGE 2 THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Perhaps it is fitting that McClatchy’s celebration of its 150th anniversary in 2007 should be marked by competitive pressures and economic challenges. While this surely was not the environment we would have chosen, it is broadly reflective of the company’s history and strength – a reminder that success is the result not of easy sailing but of skillful navigation and stout heart. GARY B. PRUITT, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Beginning before the advent of electric lights in 1857, McClatchy has repeatedly faced competitive and technological challenges like those that define today’s environment. Consider 1863, the year in which the transcontinental telegraph first began to deliver same-day news from the East Coast to our hometown, Sacramento, altering the news landscape as radically as today’s online delivery. Over subsequent decades,World Wars, economic downturns including the Great Depression, and competition from radio and television likewise tested McClatchy. Today a maturing internet is taking share from all media, including newspapers. Through it all, we have employed a simple philosophy: Stay true to our mission of public service journalism while adapting operations to achieve financial success. Charles Darwin is said to have observed that, “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change,” and our adaptive strategy is perfectly congruent with that. Our confidence in handling today’s challenges grows from that foundation of resilience and competitive corporate focus. THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 3 TODAY’S ENVIRONMENT AND OUR RESULTS Basically, we are focused on four major areas: driving new Advertising conditions eroded over the course of 2007. General economic trends aren’t improving, and our big markets in Florida and California have been especially hard revenues, with a particular emphasis on online advertising; growing total audience; providing high quality public service journalism; and restructuring our costs. hit by the real estate downturn and its ripple effect through DRIVING NEW REVENUES the other sectors of the economy.Today, job growth appears to be slowing nationally, with consequent slowing in employment advertising. Despite the gloomy outlook often portrayed by observers, our newspapers are robust, highly profitable mass media in all our markets. On the local level, we are focusing on As a result last year advertising revenues declined 8.6% increasing the number of small advertisers in our papers. and total revenues were down 7.9% on a pro forma basis, On the national level, our papers are working together that is, including the addition of newspapers purchased regionally to attract large advertisers. We also publish a in the Knight Ridder acquisition on June 27, 2006 and growing portfolio of niche and lifestyle publications, which excluding the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper which was sold on March 5, 2007, and reporting on a similar 52-week basis. Also because of declining revenues and the related impact together with direct mail programs generate 8.3% of our ad revenues.This is print revenue – but not newspaper revenue.

We have worked hard to reduce expenses to offset the impact of the revenue declines, and as a result pro forma cash operating expenses declined 9.1% while operating cash flow was down only 4.3% during the year.

Importantly, McClatchy owns between 14 and 26 percent of each of these valuable and growing internet companies. and the proceeds from asset sales to reduce debt by more Even while we’re focused on becoming more efficient than $805 million in 2007.

We are realigning sales incentives by recognizing that cyclical trends – like real estate – to focus on driving online sales, and online sales training do ultimately turn. But we’re not kidding ourselves, either. efforts are strengthened for 2008. To date, we’ve done well leveraging our traditional skills and We understand that secular advertising shifts are also afoot. So given these challenging circumstances, the obvious questions are: What are we doing to respond? What are we doing to ensure future success? PAGE 4 THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT McClatchy is working with industry peers and technology we produce today than wanted it yesterday, and we know companies to offer the best online products.

We reach 70% of the not a technology company like Yahoo, able to build and adults in our local markets with our newspapers and digital refine capabilities for highly targeted graphical ad serving products, together a powerful engine for commerce and and search.

McClatchy continues to be near the top of the newspaper PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY PUBLIC industry in online ad revenue as a percent of total at 8.6% SERVICE JOURNALISM in 2007. Last year’s online revenue performance was stunted due to various transitional issues arising in the Knight Ridder acquisition and the fact that slowing print revenues offered fewer up-sell opportunities. But with our intensified online focus and our strong internet businesses, we expect to return to solid growth online in 2008. As always, McClatchy remains committed to a relevant, high quality news report. Last year we won two Pulitzer prizes, for local reporting at The Miami Herald and feature photography at The Sacramento Bee. No company won more. Reporters at McClatchy’s Washington Bureau broke the story of political implications in the firing of numerous GROWING OUR TOTAL AUDIENCE U.S. Attorneys and continued to lead on the story, and To remain the leading local media company and a must buy for advertisers, we are focused on continuing to grow total audience, print and online, as we become a hybrid print and online news and advertising company. Print circulation ended 2007 down about 3.5% daily and 4.0% Sunday. About a third of that decline reflects strate- gic reductions on our part – eliminating some unprofitable circulation that advertisers have told us has little value. We will continue that pruning through about mid-2008. We then expect to return to a more typical run rate, averaging perhaps a two percent annual decline.That might not sound so good to some, but we know it means that we’re holding on to our traditional audience better than other media competitors, all of whom face greater audience fragmentation. While our print audience may be slowly declining, our online audience is growing rapidly -- with unique visitors up 25% in 2007. This is the brightest single story our industry has to tell: that we are growing total audience of print and online taken together on an unduplicated basis. More people want what Iraqi women staffers from our Baghdad bureau received the prestigious “Courage in Journalism” award. A new national destination website, featuring the work of bureau correspondents in D.C. and abroad, debuted this year, and some of the company’s foreign correspondents are headlined on Yahoo News. The interactive technology that brings competition also provides opportunity. For instance, newsrooms once confined to a once-a-day print schedule now provide breaking news around the clock, as their websites and mobile alerts compete with television and radio broadcasters for news headlines that can subsequently be expanded in the newspapers. We employ better storytelling tools than ever before, extending our reach across many platforms. Far more than competitors, the company’s 24/7 news organizations can provide both targeted information and in-depth coverage as needed through newspapers, websites, mobile delivery and other developing technologies. Our top priorities for newsrooms are frequent news updates on all platforms, video reports, user generated content, and greater cooperation and integration of print and online. Let me give you an example of one website that’s getting it right: In 2007, The Kansas City Star website produced more than 50 news updates daily and more than 30 different THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 5 videos weekly.The result? Traffic at kansascity.com grew more than 33%. We are constantly getting better at this And we have chosen our markets carefully.These are premium markets where the household growth rate is in each of our premium markets across the country. 40% faster than the U.S. average. So while there may be RESTRUCTURING OUR COSTS Finally, we know that we must reduce cost structures – not through disruptive and expensive across-the-board cuts but through informed judgments and reallocations. We continually ask,“what would a news company that started today look like?” And then we move toward that cost structure. Much of our reengineering has taken place deep within our operations, far from public view. We don’t issue press releases about the operational restructuring that goes on in our company every day, but our progress has been substantial. With technology, we’re taking advantage of economies of scale like never before in our industry. Largely through attrition, centralization and outsourcing, workforce size and compensation expenses are down. We reduced headcount by 7.0% in 2007 and total compensation expenses declined 7.5%. In total, cash expenses declined 9.1% in 2007 compared to pro forma 2006 and we will continue our focus on restructuring our costs in 2008. We are doing a better job at sharing news content and resources within our company, which both saves money and improves quality. While we are mastering and tuning our operations online, we are also refocusing the printed paper to serve today’s readers better. As we do both, we are rapidly becoming a hybrid print and online news and advertising company, well-positioned to capture our share of business in the evolving media world. OUR OUTLOOK economic cycles that affect our markets, over time their growth translates into larger audiences and more advertisers. This is my 12th year as McClatchy’s CEO. In the first 10 years, we led the industry in terms of stock price performance. In the past two years we have lagged. Over the previous six years McClatchy consistently outperformed the industry average in terms of advertising revenue growth. In 2007, driven down by California and Florida, we have underperformed the industry average. After living through these ups and downs, I can tell you that it’s a lot more fun to lead than to lag. We expect to do so again.This is not the time to be rattled or discouraged— far from it. Instead, we are determined to restore this company to a leadership position, create strong returns for all of our shareholders, and both sustain and extend our journalistic mission. Before closing I’d like to acknowledge the efforts of our employees who have worked hard and demonstrated great flexibility and perseverance in a very tough year filled with changes.Their efforts are the foundation of our success. We are grateful for the relationships we share with employees, customers and shareholders, and for your continued support. We will spare no effort in making sure we continue to earn it. Gary B. Pruitt Chairman, President and CEO We see the future and have responded with a strategy that March 1, 2008 is sustainable: Combine the mass reach of our newspaper readership with targeted direct mail and niche publications and the power of each market’s leading local internet business. As a result, we operate the leading local media company in each of our markets. THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 7 Our websites offer best of breed classified advertising products, including: careerbuilder.com for employment; cars.com for autos; and apartments.com in the rental category. Importantly, McClatchy owns between 14 and 26 percent of each of these valuable and growing internet companies. GROWING REVENUES: Our newspapers and online websites are robust, highly profitable mass media. We focus locally on increasing the number of small advertisers, while working together regionally to attract large national advertisers. Online as a percent of total ad revenue at McClatchy – 8.6% in 2007 – is near the top of our industry. TOTAL REVENUES BY REGION Northwest 12% California 18% Midwest 15% Texas 10% Florida 15% Southeast 30% We now operate in 29 premium growth markets spanning from Anchorage to Miami, and have the greatest diversification of revenues in the company’s history. THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 9 We have chosen our markets carefully, and Charlotte is a great example of our premium growth markets. McClatchy’s markets have household growth rates 40% faster than the U.S. average.Their growth translates into larger audiences and more advertisers. GROWING AUDIENCE: We are quickly becoming a hybrid news and advertising company, combining print and digital delivery. Our total audience, that is print and online taken together on an unduplicated basis, is growing, and reaches 70% of the adults in our largest markets. THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 11 The Miami Herald’s What the 5! enter- tainment feature, produced Monday through Friday, is a five-minute video show featuring two youthful hosts bantering about five stories of interest that day, stories that are light and often irreverent. PUBLIC SERVICE JOURNALISM: McClatchy delivers top quality journalism. Last year we won Pulitzer prizes at The Miami Herald and The Sacramento Bee. Newsrooms once confined to a once-a-day print schedule now provide breaking news 24/7, as websites and mobile alerts deliver news and headlines later expanded in printed newspapers. In 2007 The Miami Herald won the Pulitzer prize for local reporting for a story on waste, favoritism and the lack of oversight at the Miami-Dade Housing Agency that resulted in dismissals, investigations and prosecutions. The Sacramento Bee won the Pulitzer prize for feature photography for an intimate portrayal of a single mother and her young son as he lost his battle with cancer in the series “A Mother’s Journey.” THE MCCLATCHY COMPANY 2007 ANNUAL REPORT PAGE 13 We are doing a better job at sharing news content and resources, which both saves money and improves quality. Our papers complete the switch to a narrower page in 2008 resulting in $8 million in annualized savings. And this is another sweet spot: it is cheaper and preferred by readers. RESTRUCTURING COSTS: We are no longer tied to traditional cost structures. Technology allows us to take advantage of economies of scale like never before. Cash expenses declined 9.1% in 2007 compared to 2006 as we focus on efficiency. We continually ask, “what would a news company that started today look like?” And then we move toward that cost structure. We are doing so not through disruptive and expensive across-the-board cuts but through informed judgments and reallocations.
