Gannett and seven other media companies are launching a digital shopping platform called Find n Save that includes a daily deals service. It's "tailored to local audiences, offering digital coupons, daily deals, digital circulars, and other advertising products,'' the consortium said today in a statement.
Other partners in the joint venture are Advance Digital, A. H. Belo Corporation, Cox Media Group, Hearst Corporation, MediaNews Group, McClatchy, and the Washington Post Co.
Find n Save arrives as GCI and others are competing with daily deals leader Groupon, which raised $700 million earlier this month in a closely watched initial public offering.
GCI launched its own deals site, Deal Chicken, in July, and it has now spread to nearly 50 U.S. markets.
