Gannett Co

Gannett Co., the largest newspaper publisher in the country, said it expected to report first-quarter earnings at the low end of Wall Street estimates. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial on average said the company, which publishes USA Today and 90 other daily U.S. newspapers, would earn 98 cents to $1.02 a share.

Time Inc. said it would bring back one of its most storied brands, Life, as a weekend magazine inserted into daily newspapers starting in October. Life will appear in newspapers Fridays, rather than Sundays, avoiding direct competition with its two main rivals, Parade and Gannett Co.'s USA Weekend. Time Inc., the magazine publishing unit of Time Warner Inc., said Life would appear in 50 newspapers at launch, including the Los Angeles Times.
