Knight Ridder's strategy is to be the leading provider of news, information and advertising in print and online, in our markets. While we do not foresee any large acquisitions, we will make from time to time smaller acquisitions that reinforce existing franchises. Thus, in 1999, we bought ProMedia Publishing Company and Consumer and Community News, two publishers of shoppers and a weekly in suburban Philadelphia, and Mac Direct, a small direct marketing company in Fort Worth. For the three properties, we paid a total of $33 million. First-rate journalism is a core value of our company, and in that context, I am pleased to salute The Miami Herald for winning the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting last
