Wired News reports that Gannet, the publisher of USA Today plus roughly 90 other daily newspapers, will begin crowdsourcing its newsgathering functions as part of a general re-organization initiative taking place.

In addition to crowdsourcing, the initiative will focus on prioritizing local news over national news, publishing more user-generated content, and becoming 24-7 news operations, in which the newspapers do less and the websites do much more.
