Our commitment to transformation is rooted in the beliefs of our founders, John S. and James L. Knight. They were newspaper entrepreneurs who had the vision to transform a small newspaper company in Akron, Ohio, into the nation’s largest newspaper chain. They relied on courage, tenacity and know-how and valued the constant discovery of new ideas. One of their collaborators, Knight Newspapers editor Stuffy Walters once said: “The secret of the Knight papers is ideas, not dough. We have no inhibitions. We’ll try anything.”
