Knight Ridder's (KRI) Mission Statement

VISION

With technology enabling a constant flow of new products and services, and consumers demanding ever-increasing value, Knight Ridder will be pre-eminent in news, information and advertising in its markets. We will do this by developing our own high value products and services to complement our traditional businesses. In our markets, we will grow reader and advertising share every year; we will reach a majority of adults every day; and we will have the dominant share of local online consumer and advertiser business. We will grow revenue, profit and economic value added.

Our historic mission, to inform our communities, is a privilege, responsibility and source of competitive strength. We will be worthy of its First Amendment protection. Our commitment to our customers and to the people of Knight Ridder is fundamental to our success. We will reflect the diversity of the audiences we serve, including viewpoints and cultures, in our content and in our work forces.
