Gannett Co Inc
Gannett Co., Inc. serves as America’s largest newspaper publisher by total daily circulation, headquartered in New York City. Founded by Frank Gannett in Rochester, New York in 1923, the company grew through aggressive acquisitions of small independent newspapers. Gannett owns flagship USA Today, the middle-market newspaper appealing to a broader audience, alongside major regional dailies including The Arizona Republic, Detroit Free Press, and The Indianapolis Star. In 2019, New Media Investment Group acquired Gannett in a merger creating the current entity under CEO Mike Reed. The company has faced significant financial pressures, implementing widespread layoffs and cost-cutting measures while struggling with declining print circulation and advertising revenues in the digital era.
