Runs the USA TODAY Network and U.K. Newsquest portfolio while selling digital advertising, subscriptions, print, and LocaliQ services. The business is concentrated in publishing, with digital revenue now roughly half of sales and print still a material base.
Operates USA TODAY Media around the USA TODAY Network, a national flagship, and local newsrooms across the United States. Revenue comes from digital advertising, subscriptions, print circulation, commercial print, distribution, content syndication, licensing, and events.
Adds Newsquest in the United Kingdom and LocaliQ, a marketing platform for small and medium-sized businesses. LocaliQ sells automation, campaign management, CRM, analytics, and managed services, extending the company beyond newsroom monetization.
Execution centers on shifting a print-heavy publishing base toward digital subscriptions, advertising, marketing services, licensing, and AI partnerships. The business remains shaped by print decline, debt load, labor costs, and dependence on large digital platforms for audience and advertising economics.
