Gannett Co., Inc. (“Gannett”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company”) (NYSE: GCI), one of the nation’s largest news publishers, today announced it will be changing its name to USA TODAY Co., Inc., effective November 18, adopting the name of its most recognized masthead, USA TODAY.

The Company’s common stock will begin trading under the ticker symbol TDAY on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as of November 18. 

This announcement coincides with the launch of USA TODAY’s editorial initiative, USA 250, which honors the 250th birthday of America by creating content that recognizes the country’s past, while celebrating its future, and exploring the beauty of our nation. 

“As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation, we also honor the legacy of the newspaper that has focused on uniting America as we evolve to be the platform that powers its voice,” said Mike Reed, Chief Executive Officer & Chairman of the Company. “We are changing our name and rebranding to embrace our most notable masthead – which is committed to delivering fact-based news, unbiased coverage and essential content that meets audiences in the center. Our focus on empowering and enriching communities at a local and national level as a growth-focused media and digital marketing solutions business is what unites our company in service to our nationwide USA TODAY Network.”
