Our annual shareholders meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 16 at Gannett headquarters.

If you own Gannett stock, you should have received the proxy materials and letter to shareholders by email or hard-copy mail, and we encourage you to vote “FOR ALL” of the company’s nominees on the WHITE proxy card and to discard any Blue proxy cards you may receive from MNG. Every vote counts!
