Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent events In August 2014, we announced our plan to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies: a broadcasting and digital company, which would operate under the name TEGNA, and a publishing company that would retain the name Gannett Co., Inc. On June 29, 2015, we completed the previously announced spin-off. Under the terms of the transaction, our shareholders retained their shares of TEGNA common stock, which now trades on the NYSE under the symbol “TGNA,” and also received one share of stock of the “new Gannett” publishing business for every two shares of our stock they owned on the record date of June 22, 2015. New Gannett shares trade on the NYSE under the symbol GCI. On July 15, 2015, we announced a binding definitive agreement for the sale of our corporate headquarters in McLean, Virginia to Tamares Tysons Corner LLC, an affiliate of Tamares, for a purchase price of $270 million. The purchaser has made a $27 million non-refundable deposit pursuant to the purchase agreement. The sale transaction is expected to close late in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
