PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permits a corporation to include in its charter documents, and in agreements between the corporation and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the current law.

Article Seventh of the registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to indemnification provided for in the registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, and intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

The general effect of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the registrant’s charter documents and the indemnification agreements is to provide indemnification to officers and directors for liabilities that may arise by reason of their status as officers or directors, other than liabilities arising from willful or intentional misconduct, acts or omissions not in good faith, unlawful distributions of corporate assets or transactions from which the officer or director derived an improper personal benefit.

There is no litigation pending or, to the best of the registrant’s knowledge, threatened which might or could result in a claim for indemnification by a director or officer.

Item 22. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the

II-5

matter has been settled by the controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired or involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

II-6

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Sacramento, State of California, on the 20th day of July, 2010.

Sacramento, California 95816

Re:        The McClatchy Company – Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to The McClatchy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Company’s subsidiary guarantors named in Schedule I hereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Registrants”), in connection with the filing by the Registrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 (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 Notes Guarantees” and, together with the Outstanding Guarantees, the “Guarantees”). The Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes 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 and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies of: (a) the Registration Statement, in the form filed with the Commission; (b) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2010, by and among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the initial purchasers listed therein; (c) the Indenture; (d) specimens of the certificates representing the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes Guarantees, included as exhibits to the Indenture; and (e) the other documents delivered by or on behalf of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee as of the date hereof in connection with the delivery of

the Securities. We have also examined such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

We have assumed the following: (a) the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (c) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies; (d) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the factual information and factual matters, contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed as of their stated dates and as of the date hereof; (e) the legal capacity of natural persons; (f) that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitutes a legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; and (g) that the Exchange Notes will be duly authenticated by the Trustee. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

Members of our firm are admitted to the bar in the State of California, the State of New York, the State of Texas, and the State of Washington and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of California, the laws of the State of New York, the laws of the State of Texas, the laws of the State of Washington, the federal laws of the United States of America, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”), as such are in effect on the date hereof, and we have made no inquiry into, and we express no opinion as to, the statutes, regulations, treaties, common laws or other laws of any other nation, state or jurisdiction. We are not licensed to practice law in the State of Delaware and, accordingly, our opinions as to the DGCL and DLLCA are based solely on a review of the official statutes of the State of Delaware and the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting such statues and provisions.

We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, including, without limitation, laws relating to fraudulent transfers or conveyances and preferences; (ii) rights to indemnification and contribution which may be limited by applicable law or equitable principles, or (iii) the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, the effect of judicial discretion and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, and limitations on rights of acceleration, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 2 below relating to the valid and binding obligation of the Exchange Notes Guarantees by Subsidiary Guarantors incorporated in states other than California, Delaware, New York, Texas or Washington, we have relied on the legal opinions from the law firms listed on Schedule II hereto to the extent necessary to deliver the opinion set forth in paragraph 2 below that each such Subsidiary Guarantor has duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered such agreements to which it is a party and that each such Subsidiary Guarantor has the corporate power and authority to enter into such agreements and to perform the terms and conditions of such agreements to be performed by it. We understand that you are receiving legal opinions as to such other Subsidiary Guarantor matters from the law firms listed on Schedule II hereto.

On the basis of the foregoing and in reliance thereon and having regard for legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth herein, we advise you that in our opinion:

1.          When (i) the Registration Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective amendments, if any), shall have become effective under the Securities Act and (ii) the Exchange Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and exchanged for the Outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Notes will constitute binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms; and

2.          When (i) the Registration Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective amendments, if any) shall have become effective under the Securities Act, (ii) the Exchange Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and exchanged for the Outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, and (iii) the Exchange Notes Guarantees have been duly executed and delivered by the respective Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, and exchanged for the Outstanding Guarantees in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Exchange Notes Guarantees will constitute binding obligations of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with their terms.

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”).

Re: The McClatchy Company- Florida Exchange Notes Guarantees

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Florida counsel to Pacific Northwest Publishing Company, Inc., The Bradenton Herald, Inc., Biscayne Bay Publishing, Inc., Keynoter Publishing Company, Inc., and Aboard Publishing, Inc., each a Florida corporation (each individually a “Florida Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively the “Florida Subsidiary Guarantors”) in connection with the issuance of the guarantees (“Florida Exchange Notes Guarantees”) by each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors of the Exchange Notes (as defined below), issued by The McClatchy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and certain of the Company’s subsidiary guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Company, the “Registrants”), covered by a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 (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 Notes Guarantees” and, together with the Outstanding Guarantees, the “Guarantees”). The Florida Exchange Notes Guarantees constitute a portion, but not all, of the Exchange Notes Guarantees. The Outstanding Notes and Outstanding Guarantees were issued, and the Exchange Notes Guarantees, including the Florida Exchange Notes Guarantees, will be issued, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of February 11, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

2. Certificates of Active Status for each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors issued by the Florida Secretary of State as of July [    ], 2010; and

3. A Secretary’s Certificate of each of the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors, each dated as of July [    ], 2010 (collectively, the “Secretaries’ Certificates”).

We have also examined such other instruments, corporate records, certificates of public officials certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set worth herein.

(h) each natural person executing the Opinion Documents or any other document referred to herein is legally competent to do so;

(i) each party to the Opinion Documents (other than the Florida Subsidiary Guarantors) has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status, as such status relates to its rights to enforce such documents against the Company or a Florida Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be (including, but not limited to, qualifying to do business, if required, in the relevant jurisdiction);

Our opinions are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, and other laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, including limitations imposed by judicial decisions relating thereto, and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and including principles under which a court has discretion in granting specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief.

We have investigated such questions of law for the purpose of rendering this opinion letter as we have deemed necessary. Our opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Florida (but not including any statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations, in each case, of any political subdivision of Florida) (collectively, “Applicable Florida Law”). We express no opinion as to any other laws, including but not limited to, securities laws or anti-fraud provisions of applicable securities laws.

The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are given as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinions to reflect, or to otherwise advise any person or entity of, any fact or circumstance that may hereafter come to our attention or any change in law that may hereafter occur or become effective.

Re: The McClatchy Company – Exchange Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special Illinois counsel to The McClatchy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and its Illinois subsidiary, Quad County Publishing, Inc. (the “Subsidiary Guarantor” and, together with the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors, the “Registrants”), in connection with the filing by the Registrants 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 (each, an “Outstanding Guarantee” and collectively, the “Outstanding Guarantees”). The Registration Statement also covers issuance of the guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Notes Guarantees” and, together with the Outstanding Guarantees, the “Guarantees”). The Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes 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 Guarantor, certain other guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies of the following:

D-1 Certificate of Good Standing, dated June 3, 2010, for Quad County Publishing, Inc. from the Illinois Secretary of State (the “Certificate”)

D-2 Action by Unanimous Written Consent of the Board of Directors of Quad County Publishing, Inc., dated February 1, 2010 (the “Resolutions”);

D-3 the Registration Statement;

D-4 the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2010, by and among the Company, Subsidiary Guarantor, certain other guarantors, and the initial purchasers listed therein;

D-5 the Indenture;

D-6 specimens of the certificates representing the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes Guarantees, included as exhibits to the Indenture

D-7 the other documents delivered by or on behalf of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee as of the date hereof in connection with the delivery of the Securities.

(The documents in D-3 through D-7 above are referred to collectively as the “Transaction Documents.”)

Re: The McClatchy Company – Exchange Offer For Up To $875,000,000

Senior Secured Notes due 2017

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Wichita Eagle and Beacon Publishing Company, Inc., a Kansas corporation (the “Wichita Eagle”), and Keltatim Publishing Company, Inc., a Kansas corporation (“Keltatim”), with respect to an exchange offer of up to $875,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Outstanding Notes”) that have been previously issued by The McClatchy Company (“McClatchy”), and guaranteed by the Wichita Eagle and Keltatim (and other subsidiary companies of McClatchy). It is our understanding that McClatchy intends to issue an aggregate of up to $875,000,000 in principal amount of its 11.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Exchange Notes”) in exchange for a like principal amount of McClatchy’s Outstanding Notes. The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed (the “Exchange Note Guarantees”) by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, including the Wichita Eagle and Keltatim, pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 11, 2010 (the “Indenture”), by and among McClatchy, the Subsidiary Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Wichita Eagle and Keltatim are sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Companies”.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined originals or copies of the following documents:

(a) the Indenture;

We have not reviewed the Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) or any other materials associated with such registration.

As used in the opinions or statements set forth below, the expressions “to our knowledge,” “known to us” or similar language refer to the current actual knowledge of the attorneys of this firm who have rendered legal services in connection with the representation described in the first paragraph of this opinion letter.

I. We have assumed (i) the Exchange Notes will be duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and exchanged for Outstanding Notes in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Notes will be the enforceable obligation of McClatchy in accordance with their terms, and (iii) the Exchange Notes will be duly authenticated by the Trustee in accord with the terms of the Indenture.

J.

K. Our opinions set forth in paragraph 3 below, as to the authorization by each of the Companies for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, are based solely on the corporate resolutions and officers certificates necessary for our opinion, including those referenced in paragraph (d) above.

RE: The McClatchy Company and Nittany Printing and Publishing Company – Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as local counsel in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Commonwealth of Pennsylvania”) to The McClatchy Company, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”) and Nittany Printing and Publishing Company, a Pennsylvania Corporation (the “Subsidiary Guarantor” and together with the Company, the “Registrants”) with respect to the filing by the Registrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 the Subsidiary Guarantor (the “Outstanding Guarantee”). The Registration Statement also covers issuance of the guarantee by the Subsidiary Guarantor of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Notes Guarantee”). The Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes Guarantee to be issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” The Outstanding Notes and Outstanding Guarantee 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 named therein, including the Subsidiary Guarantor, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”).

Our opinion is based on our review of the Registration Statement in the form filed with the Commission, the following documents (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), the Corporate Documents (as hereinafter defined) and such rules of law and other documents as we have deemed necessary to give this opinion:

(1) The Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 11, 2010, by and among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors named therein, including the Subsidiary Guarantor, and the initial purchasers listed therein.

We are members of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Bar, do not purport to be experts on or generally familiar with or qualified to express opinions based on the laws of any states other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We express no opinion herein concerning any laws other than the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

We have assumed, with your permission the following:

(a) The genuineness of all signatures on and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals.

(b) The conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies.

(c) Any documents that are expressly governed by the laws of a state other than the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pursuant to a provision in such document constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto under the laws of the jurisdiction chosen.

(d) Each of the parties to the Transaction Documents except for the Subsidiary Guarantor, (i) is duly organized and incorporated, (ii) is validly existing, (iii) is in good standing under the laws of the respective jurisdiction of its incorporation or its organization and (iv) has the full power and authority under the laws of the jurisdiction of its respective incorporation or organization to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which each is a party, to authorize, execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which each is a party and to perform its respective duties, obligations and privileges expressed in the Transaction Documents executed by each.

The McClatchy Company

                    , 2010

Page 3

(e) The Transaction Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto except for the Subsidiary Guarantor, for reasonably equivalent value received by each such party and the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor shall receive benefits and/or consideration for the Exchange Notes being issued by the Company under the Transaction Documents.

(f) That all natural persons except for the Subsidiary Guarantor, involved in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any documents executed in connection with the Transaction Documents have sufficient legal capacity to enter into and perform their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents and to carry out their roles in the Transaction Document.

(g) There has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence.

(h) That the representations and warranties as to factual matters made by the parties to the Transaction Documents and pursuant thereto are correct.

(i) That the representations and warranties made by officers or members of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor as to factual matters made in the certificates delivered in connection with the Transaction Documents are correct.

(j) That the parties to the Transaction Documents have complied and will comply with their obligations under the Transaction Documents.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and in reliance on and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Subsidiary Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and is in good standing under such laws.

2. The Subsidiary Guarantor has the corporate power to (a) guarantee the Exchange Notes and (b) execute and deliver the Exchange Guarantee and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of the Exchange Guarantee.

3. All corporate action on the part of the Subsidiary Guarantor, its directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of the Exchange Guarantee, and the performance by the Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations under the Exchange Guarantee, has been taken.

4. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Subsidiary Guarantor.

Our opinion is subject to the following exceptions and limitations:

A. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any Transaction Documents referenced hereinabove.

B. We express no opinion on the irrevocability of licenses or of powers of attorney regardless of whether “coupled with an interest”.

C. We express no opinion on the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally (including such limitations as may deny giving effect to waivers of a debtor’s or a subsidiary guarantor’s rights) and the effect of any statutory or other law regarding fraudulent conveyances.

D. If it were ever determined that any party to the Transaction Documents that is not qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was required to qualify to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, then, such party would be precluded from enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents in the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania until such time as it is admitted to transact business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; however, the lack of qualification would not result in any waiver of rights or remedies pending such qualification.

All opinions expressed in this letter are rendered as of the date hereof and are based on statutory and case law in effect as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to advise you of any change in any matters herein, whether legal or factual, after the date hereof.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined copies of (a) the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the Subsidiary Guarantor, and (b) specimens of the certificates representing the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Notes Guarantee, included as exhibits to the Indenture, and have made such other inquiries and investigations of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies thereof. As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certifications of an officer of the Secretary of the Subsidiary Guarantor and have not sought independently to verify such matters.

Dear Ms. Ravitz and Ms. Bednarowski:

On behalf of The McClatchy Company (the “Company”), we submit this letter in response to comments from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) received by letter dated July 1, 2010 relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-167345) filed with the Commission on June 4, 2010, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on June 9, 2010, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on June 10, 2010 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”).

Through EDGAR, the Company is concurrently filing Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 3”). For the Staff’s convenience, we are enclosing with this response letter marked copies of each of the legal opinions filed as exhibits to Amendment No. 3.

In this letter, we have recited the Staff’s comments in italicized, bold type and have followed each comment with the Company’s response.

Supplemental Letter

1. We note that you are registering the 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 in reliance on our position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC No-Action Letter (April 13, 1988). See also Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC No-Action Letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman &

Accordingly, with the next amendment, please provide us with a supplemental letter stating that you are registering the exchange offer in reliance on our position contained in these letters and include the representations contained in the Morgan Stanley and Shearman & Sterling no-action letters.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company is providing the Staff with a supplemental letter stating that it is registering the exchange offer in reliance on the Staff’s position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC No-Action Letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., SEC No-Action Letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC No-Action Letter (July 12, 1993).

In response to the Staff’s comment, counsel has revised the opinion as requested.

3. Please have counsel remove (h) from the list of assumptions on page 2. It is inappropriate for counsel to assume “the absence of any evidence extrinsic to the provisions of the written agreements between the parties that the parties intended a meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions” when counsel’s client is a party to the agreement.

In response to the Staff’s comment, counsel has revised the opinion as requested.

4. Please have counsel revise the penultimate paragraph on page 2 and the last sentence in the opinion to indicate that the opinion speaks as of the date of the effectiveness of the registration statement. Alternatively, confirm that counsel will refile the opinion dated the date of effectiveness.

In response to the Staff’s comment, counsel confirms that it will refile the executed opinion dated the date of effectiveness.

5. We note that on page 3 counsel’s opinion assumes due authorization of the subsidiary guarantors incorporated in states other than California, Delaware, New York, Texas, or Washington. Counsel is entitled to rely upon another counsel’s opinion to the extent necessary, but may not assume conclusions of law that are a necessary requirement for the opinion given. Please have counsel revise accordingly.

9. Please have counsel remove or explain the need for qualification D-2 on page 3.

In response to the Staff’s comment, counsel has revised the opinion to remove qualification D-2.

In response to the Staff’s comment, counsel has revised the opinion as requested.

Dear Sir or Madam:

The McClatchy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the subsidiary guarantors listed on Schedule A attached hereto (collectively, the “Co-Registrants” and together with the Company, the “Issuers”) are registering the exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) of $875,000,000 principal amount of the Company’s 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Original Notes”) and the guarantees of the Original Notes by the Co-Registrants (the “Original Guarantees” and, together with the Original Notes, the “Original Securities”) issued in a private placement in February 2010 for $875,000,000 principal amount of registered 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Exchange Notes”) and the guarantees of the Exchange Notes by the Co-Registrants (the “Exchange Guarantees” and, together with the Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Securities”) pursuant to their Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) in reliance on the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available April 13, 1989), Morgan Stanley & Co.
