By: Morningstar

Gannett Co.'s (GCI) flagship USA Today newspaper and privately held American Media Inc. are forming a partnership to publish 12 special magazines using a "Best Of" theme this year, with editorial content being developed by teams at both companies.

The move comes as other newspaper companies are planning to release special magazines and contrasts with an industry trend toward shifting more content to digital formats for the internet and mobile devices.
