Thinkstock

The country’s largest newspaper company, Gannett Co. Inc. (NYSE: GCI), has made an unsolicited offer for Tribune Publishing Co. (NYSE: TPUB), which recently had a major management change and lost a bid for the Orange Country Register.

The offer is for  $12.25 a share, about 65% above the Tribune’s current share price. Tribune’s shares have not been above that level since Michael Ferro bought $44 million, or 16.6%, of the stock last February.

Tribune has struggled to grow and has had management problems at the LA Times, its largest paper.
