The Gannett company is the largest publishing house in the US, it owns such popular newspapers as USA TODAY, USA weekend and many others, as well as 23 TV stations and major equity shares in companies such as PointRoll, BNQT Media Group, Planet Discover, Ripple6 and ShopLocal.
The company will retain brands of its local newspaper and they will no longer be associated with Gannett, but with USA TODAY NETWORK, which will make “sub-brand.”
In a statement Bob Dickey, the president of Gannett said: “Combining our entire trusted brand into a powerful network present a unique opportunity to coordinate, guide and structure the work of more than 3,000 journalists.”
