Item 1.	Security and Issuer
This Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $0.02 1/12 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Knight-Ridder, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Issuer”), and the principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 50 West San Fernando Street, Suite 1500, San Jose, CA 95113. The Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

Item 2.	Identity and Background
(a) Name. The person filing this Schedule 13D is Harris Associates L.P. (“HALP”). HALP is also referred to as the “Reporting Person.” HALP exercises sole or shared dispositive power and shared voting power with respect to the Issuer’s shares of Common Stock held by HALP on behalf of its clients. Such voting authority may be withdrawn by HALP clients at any time. HALP disclaims that it is a member of any Group, as defined in Rule 13d-5(b)(1). HALP’s general partner is Harris Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is wholly-owned by IXIS Asset Management Holdings, LLC (“IXIS”). HALP disclaims that IXIS beneficially holds any of the Issuer’s shares of Common Stock held by HALP on behalf of HALP’s clients. (b) Business Address. Harris Associates L.P., Two North LaSalle Street, Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60602 (c) Principal Occupation. HALP is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. HALP has the power and authority to make decisions to buy and sell securities on behalf of its clients. (d) The Reporting Person has not, during the last five years, been convicted in any criminal proceedings. (e) The Reporting Person has not, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of any judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws. (f) HALP is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware.

Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
HALP has acquired on behalf of its clients 5,506,928 shares of Common Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $285,361,447.57. Funds for these purchases were derived from HALP clients.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction
Upon reviewing the recent Form 13D filing of the Issuer’s largest shareholder, HALP, as is its practice, evaluated its position with respect to the Issuer’s Common Stock. As another significant shareholder of the Issuer, HALP determined that it was appropriate to provide its current views through this filing. In making this filing, HALP is acting on its own accord on behalf of its clients and not in concert with any other investor or as a part of any group. HALP purchased the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on behalf of its clients for investment

purposes. On July 19, 2005, at the invitation of the Issuer’s Chairman and CEO, representatives of HALP addressed the Issuer’s Board of Directors and expressed HALP’s concerns over the performance of the Issuer and the Issuer’s Common Stock. Since that time, in HALP’s view, the discrepancy between the Issuer’s intrinsic value and the price of its Common Stock has not diminished. For the reasons stated in HALP’s letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors, dated November 3, 2005, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit to this filing, HALP requests that the Issuer’s management and Board promptly pursue a competitive sale of the Issuer. HALP reserves the right to support efforts that might be initiated by other parties seeking to acquire a majority of the Issuer’s voting shares, or to initiate action or support efforts initiated by other parties to change the composition of the Board, install new management, or take other action to maximize shareholder value. HALP’s representatives may, as they have done in the past, discuss with management, the Board and others HALP’s concerns over what it believes to be a discrepancy between the Issuer’s intrinsic value and the price of its Common Stock. Depending on HALP’s assessment of future developments, it may acquire additional Issuer securities on behalf of its clients or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some holdings in the Issuer or take any other action it deems to be in its clients’ best interest. Except as set forth herein and in the letter to the Issuer’s Board, dated November 3, 2005 and attached as an exhibit hereto, HALP has no present plans or proposals that would result in or relate to any of the transactions or changes listed in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D.
