#Gannett

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Gannett (owners of the USA Today Network) and Reuters have announced a new partnership where regional and local publishers and broadcasters will be able to access feeds of their stories, photos, graphics and video, all ready to publish, in a similar way to what the Associated Press does. Journalist Matt Pearce writes for his Substack about why that's a bad thing. "The logical outcome here isn’t the net creation of more local journalism jobs, but to undercut AP’s prices and make AP’s own journalists redundant," he writes. "The endgame is to eventually diminish consumers’ options and put fewer people in charge of America’s journalists and the news Americans see."

So, reading the article, it sounds like they're switching to Reuters? Or dropping #AP & continuing with #Reuters? Isn't Reuters #Putin-affiliated now?

"With a contract for AP’s content that lasts to the end of 2024, it was not clear why #Gannett is choosing to cut things off next week...

Like most newspaper companies, Gannett has been struggling financially for several years. The workforce shrank 47% between 2020 & 2023 because of layoffs & attrition"
