"Knight Ridder's (KRI, Financial) largest shareholder, Florida money-management firm Private Capital Management, is urging the newspaper publisher to put itself on the block, citing the poor performance of its stock."


"In a letter to Knight Ridder's board dated Tuesday, PCM chief executive Bruce Sherman said a sale should be pursued aggressively, "in light of limited revenue growth across the newspaper industry and the difficulties the company has faced in realizing the fair value" for its shareholders."
