Form S-4 filed August 29, 2019
Risk Factors
New Media’s and Gannett’s respective certificates of incorporation designate the Delaware
Court of Chancery, page 27
1.We note that New Media Investment Group Inc.'s forum selection provision identifies the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation,
including any “derivative action.” Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions
arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27
of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce
any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder,
and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state
courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act

or the rules and regulations thereunder. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims,
please also revise your prospectus to state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court
would enforce such provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
2.Please revise to clarify the forum selected in New Media's exclusive forum provision. In
that regard, your risk factor disclosure suggests that "a state court located within the state
of Delaware" or the federal district court for the District of Delaware are alternative courts
selected, but such other courts are not referenced in New Media's exclusive forum
provision.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
Please contact Susan Block at 202-551-3210 or Laura Nicholson at 202-551-3584 with
any questions.
Sincerely,
