Shopper Sold
To McClatchy
SAN FRANcisco
The San Francisco Shopping
News resumed publication
March 25 under the ownership
of James McClatchy, grandson
of the pioneer editor of the Sac-
ramento (Calif.) Bee who was
with the Modesto (Calif.) Bee
as business manager.
But the son of the late Carlos
McClatchy, founder of the Fres-
no (Calif.) Bee, emphasized that
the operation here is strictly his
personal venture that has
nothing to do with the Mc-
Clatchy Newspapers.
A changed format marked
the publication's return under
the direction of Mr. McClatchy,
who describes himself as bas-
ically a former reporter. He
was Washington corresporTaenf
for?the- McClatchy Newspapers
for four years and spent more
than a decade on the editorial
side before becoming business
manager at Modesto.
The paper will start on a
weekly basis and later return
to the semi-weekly of 220,000
copies per edition here. The East
Bay edition will be resumed
after operations get under way.
The property was purchased
from the 15 retail store owners
who suspended publication of the
45-year-old paper Jan. 21.
