USA Today: Gannett, owner of TV stations and 93 daily newspapers and their digital operations, said Monday its board of directors has approved the planned spinoff of the publishing unit, and USA Today publisher Larry Kramer will step down once the transaction is completed. Kramer, who has headed Gannett’s largest newspaper for about three years, will stay in his current job until June 29, when the new publishing company begins trading as a separate company. He will then become a member of the board of the publishing company, which will be headed by Robert Dickey, now the head of Gannett’s U.S. community publishing division.
