McClatchy's bid for Knight Ridder is worth more than $4.8 billion in cash and stock, according to NYT's sources. A group of private equity firms submitted a nonbinding bid for about $4.7 billion in cash. It's unclear whether a third group — made up of MediaNews, several private equity firms and possibly Gannett — submitted a formal bid, report Andrew Ross Sorkin and Katharine Q. Seelye.
