“We are excited to be part of Snowflake Marketplace, a pioneering ecosystem that empowers publishers to monetize their content for enterprise AI applications under just and transparent licensing terms,” said Michael Reed, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gannett. “As we all navigate the same challenges around unauthorized AI use of content, Snowflake offers a proactive solution that prioritizes both attribution and fair compensation.”

Through Snowflake Marketplace, enterprises can further contextualize their AI-powered apps and agents in Snowflake Cortex AI, including Cortex Agents (generally available soon), Cortex Search, and Snowflake Intelligence (public preview soon). This allows enterprises to harness real-time insights across news, research, and publications to enrich their AI outputs, alongside the wealth of proprietary knowledge in their own organization’s documents.

“The USA TODAY Network is the largest local-to-national publishing and digital media organization in the country, with 195 million average monthly unique visitors relying on our trusted content to stay connected to the stories and cultural moments happening in their communities,” said Renn Turiano, Chief Consumer and Product Officer, Gannett. “We are thrilled to join Snowflake Marketplace among the first news publishers to provide our trusted content for enterprise AI use in an equitable manner that respects our intellectual property rights while ensuring compensation for the value created for end users. This marks an important step forward in establishing a mutually beneficial ecosystem for AI companies, enterprises, content owners, and publishers to strategically partner, while driving innovation forward.”
