In 2006, Howard Weaver was McClatchy Vice President for News. A veteran journalist, Weaver had led his hometown paper, the Anchorage Daily News , to two Pulitzers' one in 1976 (when he was 25) and the second in 1989, when he was editor.

The News was a McClatchy property and, in 1995, it tapped Weaver to move to headquarters as an expert on new media. In 1997, Weaver became editorial page editor for the Sacramento Bee , the original McClatchy publication. In 2001, he returned to headquarters as vice president-news.
