The Times said that McClatchy is courting potential buyers to unload one of its largest assets as it struggles with debt and advertising losses.
McClatchy, headquartered in Sacramento, acquired the Herald in 2006 as part of a $4.5 billion purchase of Knight Ridder. Much of its cash flow is used to pay off that debt, the Times said.
Shares of McClatchy rose 10 cents to close at $2.20 Friday.
