TAXONOMY: STORY EXAMPLE

NEW YORK (AP) — Newspaper publisher Gannett said Monday that it wants to buy Tribune Publishing for more than $388 million, in a deal that would give the owner of USA Today control of the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune and several other newspapers.

But Gannett said that Tribune has refused to start "constructive discussions" about a deal since it first offered to buy its rival earlier this month. Tribune confirmed Monday that it received the unsolicited offer and said it "will respond to Gannett as quickly as feasible.“

Gannett wants Tribune so that it can grow its USA Today Network, an effort it launched late last year to unite its national brand USA Today with its more than 100 local daily newspapers. The network allows the company to share stories more easily between USA Today and its smaller papers, which include the Detroit Free Press, The Des Moines Register and the Asbury Park Press. Earlier this year, the company remade the logos on all its local newspaper front pages and websites to say that they are "a part of the USA Today Network."
