Axios reports Reuters and Gannett, owner of the Pensacola News Journal, partnering to create a content bundle. Reuters will handle sales and Gannett will receive a revenue share.
The product will be for regional and local news websites, radio and television. The secondary market includes national/international outlets seeking U.S. local coverage.
The bundle includes:
– Reuters’ national and international coverage
– USA Today’s national reporting
– Local news from 200+ USA Today Network publications
– Ready-to-publish stories, photos, graphics, and videos
– Attribution to Reuters or USA Today Network publishers
Reuter hopes to expand its local news reach. Gannett can repurpose its reporting for more revenue, and the whole world can read what local restaurant has rat droppings and cockroaches every week. We can expect even more sensational headlines.
