Knight Ridder CEO
Tony Ridder and brother Peter represent the fourth generation of Ridders at the newspaper company. "It's a family industry, and he feels very fortunate to have been part of that, and he wants to see that carry on," says
Don Lucas, one of Tony's close friends. With all that now at risk, "he's terribly depressed. It's very difficult to work your whole life at something and have it dismantled."
Joseph Menn writes: "Ridder could redeem himself to some old-media true believers by keeping his company from falling into what they see as the wrong hands."
