Dr. Steven M. Avella published a new biography called "Charles K. McClatchy and the Golden Era of American Journalism," about the Sacramento Bee publisher. We'll talk to Dr. Avella about McClatchy's place in local and national history and the process of researching and writing his book.

An event on January 14 at 7 p.m. at the Center for Sacramento History takes a look at McClatchy's contributions to journalism.
