Alden J. Blethen founded the company in 1896, and kept ownership of it in his family, until his son sold a minority stake of 49.5% the company to Knight Ridder. McClatchy now owns the share.[2][3] Frank A. Blethen, Alden's great-grandson,[4] is the chief executive officer and chairman of the company.[5]
