This is a U.S. newspaper chain, and I've used U.S. newspaper style (that is, the Associated Press), which uses neither quote marks nor underlining for newspaper names.

"The" is part of the name of several of these newspapers; please do not lowercase it without checking.

And according to the company Web site, its name is The McClatchy Company, not McClatchy Newspaper Company. AP style is "The McClatchy Co." Maurreen 06:00, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Question: Does Wikipedia use AP style? 69.129.37.114 21:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC) reply

The sale is being reported at $6.5 billion ... and the San Jose Mercury News is going to be sold ... http://tampabay.bizjournals.com/tampabay/stories/2006/03/13/daily12.html SyFyMichael 15:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply

I am confused, but this press report seems important to this article. SaltyBoatr 17:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC) reply

It would be interesting if we could gather information on the editorial policies followed by the various McClatchy newspapers, notably on the Mideast Conflict, which is one of the most controversial topics in contemporary journalism. ADM ( talk) 02:43, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply

Character Assassination April 8, 2019

I suggest to add a paragraph about the April 8, 2019 $150M defamation lawsuit. How about the draft paragraph below? I tried to include both point of views (POV), with sources.

On April 8, 2019 a $150M defamation lawsuit against McClatchy was filed. Citing that “article after article, McClatchy and its reporters exhibited an institutional hatred for Nunes, spite, ill-will and the intent to hurt Nunes and impugn his character,” the complaint states. According to Devin Nunes, the McClatchy conspired to spread false and damaging information. A McClatchy spokeswoman said that Nunes' lawsuit is “wholly without merit”. [1]

I have removed this. The article on Fresno Bee (where the articles in question were published) already covers Nunes' poor relationship with that newspaper, and I do not think the mere filing of a lawsuit is noteworthy in the context of a 160+-year-old company.

@ Neutrality: Thanks, and I agree. I edited the original addition because it needed cleaning up, but also because I didn't realize it was on the Fresno Bee page. It may be worth expanding there, but that's a separate conversation, and regardless, it's the more appropriate place for this topic. – Broccoli & Coffee ^{( Oh hai)} 03:35, 15 April 2019 (UTC) reply
