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

Ladies and Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion with respect to certain matters in connection with the filing by The McClatchy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and certain of the Company’s subsidiary guarantors, including Tribune Newsprint Company, a Utah corporation (the “Subsidiary Guarantor”), 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 certain of the Company’s subsidiary guarantors (each, an “Outstanding Guarantee” and collectively, the “Outstanding Guarantees”). The Registration Statement also covers issuance of the guarantees by, among others, the Subsidiary Guarantor of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Notes Guarantee” and, together with the Outstanding Guarantees, the “Guarantees”). 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 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 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.
