Explanatory Note

The McClatchy Company (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q to correct page 18, which duplicated the schedule for elements of pension costs for continuing operations and omitted the schedule of postretirement benefits for continuing operations (Note 7 of Item 1, Part I of the Form 10-Q). There have been no changes from the original Form 10-Q other than as described above. This amendment does not otherwise update information in the Original Filing. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15, currently dated certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are provided.

In addition, the Company notes that it is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q as an “accelerated filer” rather than a “large accelerated filer” in accordance with the definitions under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Below is the schedule of postretirement benefits for continuing operations (Note 7 of Item 1, Part I of the Form 10-Q):

The Company also provides for or subsidizes postretirement healthcare and certain life insurance benefits for employees.  The elements of postretirement benefits for continuing operations are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 28, 2008			September 30, 2007			September 28, 2008			September 30, 2007
