McClatchy-Tribune Information Services (MCT)
McClatchy-Tribune Information Services is a for-profit
joint venture of two long-established newspaper groups, The
McClatchy Company and the Tribune Co. MCT’s mission is based on a simple
premise: Combine the best work of some of America’s top newspapers
and MCT’s talented staff in a service that offers an abundance of
high-quality content for newspapers, Web sites and electronic
distributors.
MCT has more than 1,000 media customers worldwide, and about 45
million newspaper readers see MCT content each day. Most customers
are in the United States, but MCT’s market is global. MCT content
is sold to newspapers, online services, electronic information
distributors and television stations.
The joint venture primarily involves employees in two cities who
work for two companies. In Washington, D.C., MCT employees edit
and create content, including news and feature stories, photos,
graphics, illustrations, paginated pages, caricatures and
animations. In Chicago, the staff of Tribune Media Services
markets, sells and provides customer service to the newspapers and
other media organizations that purchase MCT content.
MCT services are delivered via the Internet at
www.krtdirect.com or
www.newscom.com; via high-speed networks operated by the
Associated Press.
