o Newspaper Publisher McClatchy to Buy Knight-Ridder for $6.5 Billion

San Jose, Calif. - McClatchy, the Sacramento-based newspaper publisher, said on Monday that it will acquire fellow publisher Knight-Ridder for $6.5 billion, making it the second largest newspaper publisher in the U.S. McClatchy will now operate 32 daily newspapers -- including the Miami Herald, Kansas City Star and Charlotte Observer -- and more than 50 other publications. The company said that it also plans to sell off 12 Knight Ridder newspapers, including the Philadelphia Inquirer and San Jose Mercury News. Looking to take advantage of corporate synergies, McClatchy said that it plans to cut an undetermined number of jobs, and expects to save about $40 million by eliminating corporate redundancies and another $15 million by combining Internet operations. Shareholders had been pressuring Knight-Ridder to pursue a sale for several months.

o Video Game Industry Group Launches "Video Game Voters Network"

Washington - The Entertainment Software Association (ESA), a video game industry trade group, on Monday launched the "Video Game Voters Network," which it bills as a grassroots political network for gamers. The site is geared toward adults who play computer and video games, and are looking to take action on policy issues affecting the computer and video game industry. At its core, the network opposes efforts to regulate the content of entertainment media, including proposals to criminalize the sale of certain games to minors, or regulate video games differently than movies, music, books and other media. "With over seventy bills to restrict game sales to minors already pending in state legislatures across the country this year, it's time for gamers to make their voices heard," said Doug Lowenstein, president of the ESA. The site will help register gamers to vote, and provide tools to allow them to take action on issues by contacting federal, state and local officials to express their views.
