Media's AI PivotBackground
Gannett is the former corporate name of USA TODAY Co., the American publisher behind USA TODAY and local news outlets. The name changed legally, rather than serving only as an alternative trading label. The business combines a national news brand with local reporting operations, giving readers different routes to coverage of national affairs and their own communities.

The company’s commercial activity includes subscriptions, advertising and services that help businesses reach audiences. Audience engagement and the ability to earn revenue from that readership are central to its business model. Its investor reporting describes technology investment in those terms, alongside its publishing operations. The group’s identity therefore includes both the production of journalism and the commercial systems used to sustain it.
