Knight Ridder and Schieffer

Two items worth mentioning that we simply haven’t this week:

• This whole deal with Knight-Ridder being up for sale turns out it might have a happy(ish) ending. McClatchy newspapers has put in a high bid, which might mean very good news for most of the journalists at both companies. Or, alternatively, at least better news than having someone else buy it.

• Bob Schieffer is celebrating his first year of anchoring the CBS Evening News today.
