The Justice Department is primarily interested in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, where McClatchy publishes the Star Tribune and competes against the Pioneer Press. "We are delighted that the Department of Justice review confirms our belief that there would be no antitrust concerns other than in the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, where we intend to sell the Pioneer Press to remove any concern," says
Karole Morgan-Prager, McClatchy vice president and general counsel. (Read McClatchy's
