USA Today: Gannett, the media company that owns USA Today and 92 other newspapers, said it’s offering buyout packages to veteran employees, a move to cut costs and steer spending into a plan to create “a next generation media company.” The company, which was spun off in June from its former parent that now focuses on broadcasting, says the offer will be made to employees who are 55 or older with at least 15 years of service. “Certain business segments and departments” will be eligible, Gannett CEO Bob Dickey said in a memo.
