According to Gannett Blog, most of the content will be generated by USA Today and individual local newspapers will add the website to their own. 
The site aims to attract national and local advertising and increase newspaper sales by turning over "traditional thinking about content in our industry, both in how we gather it and how we sell it," according to Gannett president, Craig Dubow.
