Gannett to End Use of Associated Press Content Across Its Publications

The move, affecting over 230 outlets including USA Today, aims to invest more in local newsrooms.

Gannett, the largest newspaper chain in the U.S., will cease using Associated Press (AP) content starting March 25.
The decision impacts more than 230 outlets, including USA Today and the Miami Herald, severing a century-old partnership.
Gannett aims to invest more in its own newsrooms and leverage its network of over 200 newsrooms nationwide.
The move is expected to save millions for Gannett while posing financial challenges for the AP.
AP remains hopeful for ongoing support from Gannett beyond the end of their current contract at the end of 2024.
