The move is the latest example in a trend for daily papers to eliminate print on some days of the week. Today, he said, Gannett has effectively rebranded its offerings and has added to its capabilities, transforming itself from a newspaper company to a true digital media agency. In 2009, she transitioned to a business-side role where she led digital strategy for local newsrooms, architected the digital subscription strategy and created the Innovation Lab in addition to overseeing content and product. She added subscribers will get online Saturday access to coverage, not just in their local circulation area, but across the USA Today network. Prior to Gannett, Maribel held a variety of roles at community news organizationsfrom reporter to managing editor. “We recognize the deep loyalty our longtime subscribers have to our daily newspapers and are committed to delivering a quality product as we execute our subscription-led business strategy.”

“This decision better aligns our resources to maintain strong local reporting across our nationwide network, to better serve our partners and to accelerate our digital future holistically,” Gannett spokeswoman Lark-Marie Anton, said. Editor-in-Chief David Callaway says the growing use of VR in news is a natural progression from the widespread uptake of video in online content and its about. Gannett Co., the largest newspaper chain in the country, is eliminating Saturday print editions for 136 of its brands beginning in early March.Ī spokeswoman for the company, which is based in McLean, Virginia, said the shift is about adapting to the digital world and the demand for digital content is increasing.
