April 17, 2008 --  85 daily newspapers, 900 non-daily publications, 23 television stations: Gannett is THE media company of the USA - and now also a K4 customer. Arizona-based Gannett subsidiary Gannett Pacific Publishing (GPP) purchased SoftCare K4, the popular editorial system for Adobe InDesign and InCopy. K4 distributor Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) recently announced this latest K4 deal to the U.S. press.
