McClatchy going mobile with AP

McClatchy newspapers will contribute to AP Mobile, a multimedia news portal developed by the Associated Press that provides 24-hour access to international, national and local news.

AP Mobile offers applications for Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia devices and Android Market, and promises one soon for Palm Pre.

“Mobile is a key component of McClatchy’s overall digital strategy,” Christian Hendricks, McClatchy’s vice president, interactive media, said in a statement, according to Editor & Publisher.

In addition to AP’s own news, sports and entertainment, more than 1,000 AP members and other sources provide content for AP Mobile.

McClatchy’s Miami Herald and The Sacramento BeeĀ  joined AP Mobile in 2008, and its El Nuevo Herald of Miami was the first Spanish-language daily to contribute to the U.S.-Spanish section of the mobile service.
