News Summary:
On October 2, 2026, a New York judge denied most of Google's motion for summary judgment against Gannett and the publishers of the Daily Mail, allowing claims related to Project Bernanke, Enhanced Dynamic Allocation, and Project Poirot to proceed to a jury trial in a $1.5 billion ad tech suit, while dismissing New York consumer protection claims and federal antitrust claims brought by Inform. Previously, on September 30, Florida's Attorney General sent letters to Reddit, Snap, and TikTok demanding they cease carrying ads for sweepstakes casino websites, a development occurring as a Fort Myers newspaper was reportedly promoting such casinos. Earlier in September, the Press & Sun-Bulletin, a Gannett publication in Binghamton, announced it would transition to U.S. Postal Service mail delivery, ending its home delivery service for subscribers. This change follows Gannett's second-quarter earnings report on August 6, which showed net income decreased to $9.13 million, or $0.06 per share, down from $78.39 million, or $0.52 per share, in the same period last year. The company also filed its 10-Q statement for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2026, on August 5.
