History

The company's present-day official materials state that USA TODAY Co. "has been serving communities since 1924." Independent historical accounts trace the Gannett name to Frank Gannett, who began a newspaper business with the Elmira (New York) Gazette in 1906 and formally organized the Gannett Company in Rochester, New York, in 1923.

On June 29, 2015, the then-existing Gannett Co., Inc. split into two public companies: Tegna Inc., which retained the broadcasting and digital businesses (and is the legal successor to the pre-2015 Gannett), and a newly spun-off Gannett Co., Inc., which retained USA TODAY and the newspaper publishing business, including Newsquest.

In August 2019, New Media Investment Group Inc. (NYSE: NEWM), the parent company of GateHouse Media and managed by Fortress Investment Group, announced a cash-and-stock acquisition of the newly spun-off Gannett Co., Inc. The merger was completed November 19, 2019; Gannett stockholders received $6.25 in cash plus 0.5427 New Media shares for each Gannett share. New Media Investment Group Inc. was the surviving legal entity and adopted the more widely recognized "Gannett Co., Inc." name; Mike Reed, previously CEO of GateHouse Media's corporate parent, became CEO of the combined company.

Effective November 18, 2025, the company changed its corporate name a second time, from Gannett Co., Inc. to USA TODAY Co., Inc., adopting a new ticker symbol, TDAY.
