Knight RIDDER, the newspaper publishing company, is being sold and will no longer exist. The company was formed when Ridder Publications merged with Knight Newspapers in 1974.

I'm kind of relieved. How many times have you looked through a website and saw the words "Knight Rider" jump out at you, only to find out it actually said "Knight Ridder"?

When I had my Mass Media course, we talked about about Knight-Ridder alot and being the geek that I am, I would laugh under my breath everytime the prof said it. ;)

I remember being in a very small town and seeing a Knight-Ridder news paper stand. I wasn't quite sure what to make of it, at the time.

Knight Ridder, a shadowy flight into the mundane world of story deadlines and printer's ink....Clark Kent, a young reporter on a crusade to hide his secret from the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of Luthors who operate above the law...

Oh boy :)

I wonder if KITT would analyze the polls that were taken.
