Re: The McClatchy Company—Local Counsel Opinion for Anchorage Daily News,

Inc. as a Subsidiary Guarantor

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Anchorage Daily News, Inc., an Alaska corporation (“Guarantor”), and a subsidiary of The McClatchy Company, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), in connection with the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company is registering under the Securities Act an aggregate of up to $875,000,000 in principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Exchange Notes”) to be issued in exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) for a like principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Outstanding Notes”) upon the terms set forth in the Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal filed as an exhibit thereto. The Outstanding Notes are guaranteed by each of the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (each, an “Outstanding Guarantee” and collectively, the “Outstanding Guarantees”). The Registration Statement also covers issuance of the guarantees by each of the subsidiary guarantors of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Guarantees” and, together with the Outstanding Guarantees, the “Guarantees”). The Exchange Notes and the Exchange Guarantees to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Outstanding Notes and Outstanding Guarantees were issued, and the Securities will be issued, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 11, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.

The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the laws of the State of Alaska.
