The Sacramento Bee is a local daily newspaper from Sacramento, California with a daily circulation of almost 200,000 copies (as of 2013). The newspaper, which won five Pulitzer Awards , is owned by the McClatchy Company .

The Sacramento Bee caused an international stir in May 2004 when it published an interview with NCO ("Staff Sergeant") Jimmy Massey . In November 2003, after twelve years of service with the US Marines, Masse quit his service, most recently in Iraq, and then sought treatment for post-traumatic disorders which he suffered against civilians because of the atrocities he experienced in Iraq. The allegations raised in this interview went far beyond what had been publicly reported up to then, but were also doubted elsewhere. The interview was copied from many other newspapers, including the British Independent .
