       Re:     TEGNA Inc.
               Definitive Additional Materials on Schedule 14A
               Filed January 21, 2020
               Response dated February 18, 2020
               File No. 001-06961

Dear Mr. Kirman:

     We have reviewed your response to our comments and have the following
additional
comment.

1. We note your response to prior comment 4. Notwithstanding the fact that
TEGNA may
   continue to assert the existence of any conflicts of interest with regard to
Mr. Kim and
   Standard General, we believe disclosure of Standard General's commitment not
to make any
   new investment in TV stations without first offering the opportunity to
TEGNA is required in
   order to provide proper context. In future filings, please include this
additional background
   disclosure where reference is made to conflicts of interest.

                                              *   *   *

        We remind you that the filing persons are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of
their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.

      Please direct any questions to me at (202) 551-7951. You may also contact
Daniel
Duchovny, Special Counsel, at (202) 551-3619.


                                                            Sincerely,
