                            CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation*: $206,124,816             Amount of Filing Fee**: $41,225

                                                               Exhibit (a)(5)(I)
For Immediate Release

                   CAREER HOLDINGS, INC., EXTENDS TENDER OFFER
                            FOR HEADHUNTER.NET, INC.

Reston, Va., Wednesday, October 24, 2001 - Career Holdings, Inc., today said
that it has extended the expiration date of its tender offer for HeadHunter.Net,
Inc. (NASDAQ: HHNT), to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday, October 30,
2001. The tender offer was previously scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on Tuesday, October 23, 2001. The tender offer period has been
extended because the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act has not yet expired or been terminated.

On August 31, 2001, CB Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Career
Holdings, commenced its previously announced tender offer for all of the shares
of common stock of Headhunter at $9.25 per share, net to the seller, in cash.
Career Holdings is the parent of CareerBuilder, Inc., and is principally owned
by Tribune Company (NYSE: TRB) and Knight Ridder Digital, a subsidiary of
Knight-Ridder, Inc. (NYSE: KRI). As a consequence of the extension of the
expiration date of the tender offer, holders of Headhunter common stock may
tender or withdraw shares until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Tuesday,
October 30, 2001, unless the tender offer period is further extended.

The Headhunter tender offer is being made pursuant to a merger agreement dated
August 24, 2001, among Headhunter, Career Holdings and CB Merger Sub. On
September 17, 2001, the Federal Trade Commission requested additional
information and documents pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act, which extended the waiting period under the Act until 11:59
p.m., Eastern time, on the tenth calendar day after the date of substantial
compliance with the request unless the Federal Trade Commission decides to
terminate the waiting period earlier. The expiration or termination of this
waiting period and satisfaction or waiver (if applicable) of other conditions
are required to complete the tender offer.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the tender offer,
has advised Career Holdings that as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on October
23, 2001, approximately 19,910,791 shares of Headhunter common stock (including
guaranteed deliveries), representing approximately 97% of the Headhunter shares
currently outstanding were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the
tender offer. Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. is the information
agent.

                                       ###
