Thanks for posting, Dick. This is amazing and awful news. My grandparents read a McClatchy paper, the Fresno Bee, almost their entire lives. Not a great paper, but better than nothin'!
IIRC, Mc Latch Key and New Gatehouse aren't doing away with the wire entirely. Rather, AP is being replaced by Reuters, at least at Gannett. That's why, when AP poo-poohed the effect this would have, I kind of laughed. I suspect other chains are asking what sort of deal Reuters is offering. https://www.poynter.org/commentary/2024/associated-press-gannett-mcclatchy-drop-content/

I read a Gannett newspaper growing up. It was better than the previous publisher but it was many years ago.
Meanwhile, the AP, apparently not getting enough couch change from the "Donate" red button on its website, is entering the e-commerce world. Wunderbar. https://beloblogging.blogspot.com/2024/03/so-ap-is-going-to-sell-us-shit-now.html
