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.

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.

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.

Re: Supplemental Letter With Respect to The McClatchy Company’s

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. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991), Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993) and other related similar SEC no-action letters. The Issuers represent as follows:

2. The Issuers will make each person (including any broker-dealer) participating in the Exchange Offer aware (through the Exchange Offer prospectus or otherwise) that if the Exchange Offer is being registered for the purpose of secondary resales, any securityholder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Securities (a) could not rely on the staff position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available April 13, 1989) or similar letters and (b) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with a secondary resale transaction.

3. The Issuers acknowledge that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the securityholder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

4. The Issuers will make each person (including any broker-dealer) participating in the Exchange Offer aware (through the Exchange Offer prospectus or otherwise) that any broker-dealer who holds Original Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and who receives Exchange Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer, may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (as described in Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993)) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities.

5. The Issuers will include in the transmittal letter or similar documentation to be executed by an exchange offeree in order to participate in the Exchange Offer the following additional provisions:

(a) Each exchange offeree (including any broker-dealer) acknowledges that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Securities.

(b) If the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding Original Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, an acknowledgment that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of Exchange Securities received in exchange for the Original Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and a statement to the effect that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, such broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
