Item 1.       Description of Securities To Be Registered.

     Lee Enterprises, Incorporated (the “Company”) hereby supplements Item 1 of the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 1998, relating to the Rights Agreement between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (as successor rights agent to The First Chicago Trust Company of New York, the “Rights Agent”), dated as of May 7, 1998 (the “Rights Agreement”), to reflect the following developments with respect to its Preferred Share Purchase Rights. Such Registration Statement on Form 8-A is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

     On January 10, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”). The Rights Agreement previously provided that, with certain exceptions, an “Acquiring Person” shall be defined as any person who together with all of such person’s affiliates or associates is the beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Company, treated as one class (the “Common Shares”). The Amendment decreases the beneficial ownership threshold for an Acquiring Person to 15%, thereby providing that an Acquiring Person shall be any person who together with all of such person’s affiliates or associates is the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

     The Amendment further provides that certain shareholders will not be deemed to be an “Acquiring Person” so long as (a) such shareholder is the beneficial owner of less than 25% of the Common Shares of the Company then outstanding and (b) such shareholder reports, or is required to report such beneficial ownership on Schedule 13G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act, which Schedule 13D does not state any present intention to (or reserve the right to) hold such Common Shares with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, nor in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect.

     In addition, the Amendment extends the “Final Expiration Date” to May 31, 2018 from May 31, 2008.

     The Rights Agreement and the Amendment are filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Preferred Share Purchase Rights and the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, as amended by the Amendment.
