History [edit]

The genesis of USA Today was on February 29, 1980, when a company task force known as "Project NN" met with Gannett chairman Al Neuharth in Cocoa Beach, Florida, to develop a national paper. Early regional prototypes included East Bay Today, an Oakland, California-based publication published in the late 1970s to serve as the morning time edition of the Oakland Tribune, an afternoon newspaper which Gannett owned at the time.[11] On June 11, 1981, Gannett printed the kickoff prototypes of the proposed publication. The 2 proposed design layouts were mailed to newsmakers and prominent leaders in journalism for review and feedback.[viii] [12] Gannett's board of directors approved the launch of the national paper, titled United states of america Today, on December v, 1981. At launch, Neuharth was appointed president and publisher of the newspaper, adding those responsibilities to his existing position as Gannett'south principal executive officer.[12] [thirteen]

Gannett announced the launch of the paper on April 20, 1982.

The design uniquely incorporated color graphics and photographs. Initially, only its front news section pages were rendered in 4-colour, while the remaining pages were printed in a spot color format. The paper's overall style and elevated use of graphics – developed past Neuharth, in collaboration with staff graphics designers George Rorick, Sam Ward, Suzy Parker, John Sherlock and Web Bryant – was derided past critics, who referred to it equally a "McPaper" or "television you tin can wrap fish in", because information technology opted to contain concise nuggets of information more than alike to the style of television news, rather than in-depth stories like traditional newspapers, which many in the paper industry considered to be a dumbing down of content.[12] [13] [15] Although USA Today had been assisting for just ten years equally of 1997, it changed the appearance and feel of newspapers around the world.[xvi]

On October 4, 1999, USA Today began running advertisements on its front end page for the start fourth dimension.[12] In 2017, some pages of United states of america Today'south website features Auto-Play functionality for video or sound-aided stories.

On February 8, 2000, Gannett launched U.s. Today Live, a broadcast and Cyberspace initiative designed to provide coverage from the newspaper to broadcast television stations nationwide for use in their local newscasts and their websites; the venture also provided integration with the USA Today website, which transitioned from a text-based format to characteristic audio and video clips of news content.[12]

The newspaper launched a sixth press site for its international edition on May 15, 2000, in Milan, Italy, followed on July x by the launch of an international printing facility in Charleroi, Kingdom of belgium.[12]

2012 redesign [edit]

Miguel Vazquez from Usa Today shows off the publication's Metro App, 2012.

On September 14, 2012, USA Today underwent the showtime major redesign in its history, in commemoration for the 30th anniversary of the newspaper'south start edition.[xix] Developed in conjunction with brand design house Wolff Olins, the impress edition of The states Today added a page covering technology stories and expanded travel coverage within the Life section and increased the number of colour pages included in each edition, while retaining longtime elements.[20] The "globe" logo used since the paper'southward inception was replaced with a new logo featuring a large circumvolve rendered in colors respective to each of the sections, serving as an infographic that changes with news stories, containing images representing that solar day's meridian stories.[20] [21]

The paper's website was also extensively overhauled using a new, in-business firm content management system known equally Presto and a pattern created by Fantasy Interactive, that incorporates flipboard-style navigation to switch between individual stories (which obscure nearly of the main and section pages), clickable video advertizing and a responsive design layout. The site was designed and developed to exist more interactive, faster, provide "high bear upon" ad units (known as Gravity), and provide the ability for Gannett to syndicate USA Today content to the websites of its local properties, and vice versa. To achieve this goal, Gannett Digital migrated its newspaper and television station websites to the Presto platform. Developers built a separate platform to provide optimizations for mobile and touchscreen devices. The Gravity ad won Digiday's Best Publishing Innovation in Ad in 2016, thanks to an 80% total-picket user engagement charge per unit on desktop, and 96% on mobile.[22] [23]

Following the relaunch, the editorial team backside USA Today Investigations ramped upwards its "longread" article plans, following the success of the series Ghost Factories. With differing platform requirements, Usa Today's mobile website did not offer any specialized support for these multi-chapter stories. Nearing the finish of 2012, more than one-3rd of USA Today's readership was browsing only using their mobile phones, and the majority of these users were accessing the mobile website (as opposed to the iOS and Android applications) with the newer, less-obtrusive advertizement strategy. Gannet Digital designed, adult, and released the longread mobile experience to coincide with the launch of Brad Heath'southward serial Locked Up, which won the Investigative Reporters and Editors Tom Renner Laurels in Oct 2013.[24] [25]

Gannett Digital's focus on its mobile content experience paid off in 2012 with multiple awards; including the Eppy for Best Mobile Application, the Mobile Excellence honour for Best User Experience, the MOBI honor for Editorial Content, and Mobile Publisher of the Year.[26] [27] [28]

The USA Today site blueprint was launched on desktop, mobile and Television throughout 2013 and 2014, although archive content attainable through search engines remains available through the pre-relaunch design.[29] [30]

Mid-2010s expansion and restructuring [edit]

On Oct six, 2013, Gannett exam launched a condensed daily edition of USA Today (part of what was internally known within Gannett every bit the "Butterfly" initiative) for distribution as an insert in four of its newspapers – The Indianapolis Star, the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, the Fort Myers-based The News-Press and the Appleton, Wisconsin-based The Post-Crescent. The launch of the syndicated insert acquired U.s.a. Today to restructure its operations to let 7-day-a-week product to accommodate the packaging of its national and international news content and enterprise stories (comprising about 10 pages for the weekday and Saturday editions, and upward to 22 pages for the Sun edition) into the pilot insert. Gannett later announced on December 11, that information technology would formally launch the condensed daily edition of Usa Today in 31 additional local newspapers nationwide through April 2014 (with the Palm Springs, California-based The Desert Sun and the Lafayette, Louisiana-based Advertiser being the first newspapers outside of the pilot program participants to add the supplement on December 15), citing "positive feedback" to the feature from readers and advertisers of the initial four papers. Gannett was given permission from the Alliance for Audited Media to count the circulation figures from the syndicated local insert with the total circulation count for the flagship national edition of The states Today.[31] [32]

On January iv, 2014, USA Today acquired the consumer product review website Reviewed.[33] [12] In the first quarter of 2014, Gannett launched a condensed USA Today insert into 31 other newspapers in its network, thereby increasing the number of inserts to 35, in an effort to shore up circulation subsequently it regained its position as the highest-circulated week daily paper in the U.s.a. in October 2013.[31] [34] On September 3, 2014, USA Today announced that it would lay off roughly 70 employees in a restructuring of its newsroom and business operations.[35] In Oct 2014, USA Today and OpenWager Inc. entered into a partnership to release a Bingo mobile app called United states TODAY Bingo Cruise.[36] [37]

On December three, 2015, Gannett formally launched the USA Today Network, a national digital newsgathering service providing shared content between U.s. Today and the company's 92 local newspapers throughout the United States as well equally pooling advertizing services on both a hyperlocal and national reach. The Louisville Courier-Journal had earlier soft-launched the service every bit role of a airplane pilot program started on Nov 17, coinciding with an imaging rebrand for the Louisville, Kentucky-based newspaper; Gannett's other local newspaper properties, also as those information technology acquired through its merger with the Journal Media Group, gradually began identifying themselves every bit part of the USA Today Network (foregoing utilise of the Gannett name outside of requisite ownership references) through early Jan 2016.[38] [39] [xl]

In May 2021, Us Today introduced a paywall for some of its online stories.[41]

Layout and format [edit]

Embrace page used for February five, 2009

USA Today is known for synthesizing news downwards to like shooting fish in a barrel-to-read-and-comprehend stories. In the principal edition circulated in the United states of america and Canada, each edition consists of iv sections: News (the often-labeled "forepart page" department), Coin, Sports, and Life. Since March 1998, the Friday edition of Life has been separated into two distinct sections: the regular Life focusing on amusement (subtitled Weekend; section E), which features television reviews and listings, a DVD column, moving picture reviews and trends, and a travel supplement called Destinations & Diversions (section D). The international edition of the paper features ii sections: News and Money in one; with Sports and Life in the other.

Singular of nearly daily newspapers, the newspaper does not print on Saturdays and Sundays; the Friday edition serves as the weekend edition. USA Today has published special Sabbatum and Sunday editions in the past: the first issue released during the standard calendar weekend was published on January 19, 1991, when it released a Saturday "Extra" edition updating coverage of the Gulf War from the previous day; the newspaper published special vii-day-a-week editions for the first time on July nineteen, 1996, when it published special editions for sectional distribution in the host city of Atlanta and surrounding areas for the two-week elapsing of the 1996 Summer Olympics.[12] United states of america Today prints each consummate story on the forepart page of the corresponding section with the exception of the comprehend story. The comprehend story is a longer story that requires a bound (readers must plow to another page in the paper to complete the story, usually the next page of that department). On certain days, the news or sports department will accept up ii paper sections, and there volition be a second cover story within the second section.

Each section is denoted by a sure color to differentiate sections across lettering and is seen in a box the top-left corner of the first page; the principal section colors are blue for News (department A), greenish for Money (section B), reddish for Sports (section C), and majestic for Life (department D); in the paper'due south early years, the Life and Money sections were also assigned blueish nameplates and spot color, as the presses used at USA Today ' printing facilities did not withal accommodate the use of other colors to denote all iv original sections.[42] Orangish is used for bonus sections (section E or above), which are published occasionally such equally for business organization travel trends and the Olympics; other bonus sections for sports (such as for the PGA Tour preview, NCAA Basketball Tournaments, Memorial Twenty-four hours auto races (Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600), NFL opening weekend and the Super Bowl) previously used the orange colour, just now use the red designated for sports in their bonus sections. To increment their ties to Usa Today, Gannett incorporated the USA Today coloring scheme into an internally created graphics parcel for news programming that the company began phasing in across its telly station group – which were spun-off in July 2015 into the separate circulate and digital media visitor Tegna – in belatedly 2012 (the package utilizes the color scheme for a rundown graphic used on most stations – exterior those that Gannett acquired in 2014 from London Broadcasting, which began implementing the package in late 2015 – that persists throughout its stations' newscasts, as well as bumpers for individual story topics). Gannett's television stations began to a new on-air appearance that uses a color-coding system identical to that of the paper.[43]

In many means, United states of america Today is prepare to suspension the typical newspaper layout. Some examples of that divergence from tradition include using the left-mitt quarter of each section every bit reefers (front-page paragraphs referring to stories on inside pages[44]), sometimes using sentence-length blurbs to describe stories within; the pb reefer is the cover page feature "Newsline", which shows summarized descriptions of headline stories featured in all four main sections and any special sections. As a national newspaper, Usa Today cannot focus on the weather for any 1 urban center. Therefore, the entire dorsum page of the News department is used for weather maps for the continental U.s., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and temperature lists for many cities throughout the U.Southward. and the globe (temperatures for private cities on the main forecast map and temperature lists are suffixed with a one- or two-letter of the alphabet code, such as "t" for thunderstorms, referencing the expected weather conditions); the colorized forecast map, originally created by staff designer George Rorick (who left USA Today for a similar position at The Detroit News in 1986), was copied past newspapers around the earth, breaking from the traditional way of using monochrome contouring or simplistic text to denote temperature ranges.[15] [45] National precipitation maps for the side by side three days (previously five days until the 2012 redesign), and iv-solar day forecasts and air quality indexes for 36 major U.South. cities (originally xvi cities prior to 1999) – with individual cities color-coded past the temperature contour respective to the given area on the forecast map – are as well featured. Weather data is provided by AccuWeather, which has served as the forecast provider for U.s. Today for most of the newspaper's existence (with an exception from January 2002 to September 2012, during which forecast data was provided past The Weather Channel through a long-term multimedia content agreement with Gannett).[46] [47] [48] [49] [50] In the bottom left-hand corner of the weather page is "Weather Focus", a graphic which explains various meteorological phenomena. On some days, the Weather Focus could be a photograph of a rare meteorological consequence.

On Mondays, the Money section uses its back page for "Market Trends", a feature that launched in June 2002 and presents an unusual graphic depicting the performance of various industry groups every bit a function of quarterly, monthly, and weekly movements against the S&P 500. On business holidays or days when bonus sections are included in the consequence, the Coin and Life sections are usually combined into 1 section, while combinations of the Friday Life editions into one section are common during quiet weeks. Advertizing coverage is seen in the Monday Money department, which often includes a review of a current television advertising, and after Super Bowl Sunday, a review of the ads aired during the broadcast with the results of the Ad Rails alive survey. Stock tables for individual stock exchanges (comprising one subsection for companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange, and another for companies trading on NASDAQ and the American Stock Exchange) and mutual indexes were discontinued with the 2012 redesign due to the myriad of electronic ways to cheque individual stock prices, in line with most newspapers.

Volume coverage, including reviews and a national sales chart (the latter of which debuted on October 28, 1994), is seen on Thursdays in Life, with the official full A.C. Nielsen idiot box ratings chart printed on Wednesdays or Thursdays, depending on release. The paper also publishes the Mediabase survey for several genres of music, based on radio airplay spins on Tuesdays, along with their own chart of the summit ten singles in general on Wednesdays. Because of the aforementioned limitations cited for its nationalized forecasts, the television page in Life – which provides prime time and late nighttime listings (running from 8:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.thou. Eastern Fourth dimension) – incorporates boilerplate "Local news" or "Local programming" descriptions to announce time periods in which the five major English language circulate networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and The CW) cede airtime to allow their owned and affiliated stations to carry syndicated programs or local newscasts; the television set page has never been accompanied by a weekly listings supplement with broader scheduling information similar to those featured in local newspapers. Like most national papers, The states Today does non carry comic strips.

One of the staples of the News department is "Across the Us", a state-by-state roundup of headlines. The summaries consist of paragraph-length Associated Press reports highlighting one story of note in each state, the District of Columbia, and one U.S. territory. Similarly, the "For the Record" page of the Sports department (which features sports scores for both the previous iv days of league play and private non-league events, seasonal league statistics and wagering lines for the current mean solar day'south games) previously featured a rundown of winning numbers from the previous deadline date for all participating state lotteries and individual multi-state lotteries.

Some traditions have been retained. The lead story still appears on the upper-right hand of the front folio. Commentary and political cartoons occupy the last few pages of the News department. Stock and mutual fund data are presented in the Money department. But United states of america Today is sufficiently different in aesthetics to be recognized on sight, fifty-fifty in a mix of other newspapers, such as at a newsstand. The overall design and layout of U.s. Today has been described as neo-Victorian.[51]

Likewise, in about of the sections' front pages, on the lower left-hand corner, are "USA Today Snapshots", which requite statistics of diverse lifestyle interests according to the department it is in (for example, a snapshot in "Life" could show how many people tend to watch a certain genre of television evidence based upon the type of mood they are in at the time). These "Snapshots" are shown through graphs that are made up of diverse illustrations of objects that roughly pertain to the graphs subject matter (using the instance above, the graph's confined could exist fabricated upwards of several Telly sets, or ended past i). These are usually loosely based on inquiry past a national establish (with the credited source mentioned in fine print in the box beneath the graph).

The newspaper likewise features an occasional mag supplement chosen Open Air, which launched on March seven, 2008, and appears several times a twelvemonth. Diverse other advertorials appear throughout the year, mainly on Fridays.[52] [53]

Stance section [edit]

The opinion section prints The states Today editorials, columns past guest writers and members of the editorial lath of Contributors,[54] messages to the editor, and editorial cartoons. One unique characteristic of the U.s.a. Today editorial page is the publication of opposing points of view; alongside the editorial board'southward piece on the day'southward topic runs an opposing view past a guest writer, oftentimes an proficient in the field. The stance pieces featured in each edition are decided by the Board of Contributors, which are separate from the paper's news staff.[55]

From 1999 to 2002 and from 2004 to 2015, the editorial page editor was Brian Gallagher, who has worked for the newspaper since its founding in 1982.[56] Other members of the editorial board included deputy editorial page editor Beak Sternberg, executive forum editor John Siniff, op-ed/forum page editor Glen Nishimura, operations editor Thuan Le Elston, letters editor Michelle Poblete, web content editor Eileen Rivers, and editorial writers Dan Carney, George Hager, and Saundra Torry.[57] The paper's website calls this grouping "demographically and ideologically diverse."[55]

Beginning with the 1984 United states presidential ballot, U.s.a. Today has traditionally maintained a policy not to endorse candidates for the President of the United States or any other state or federal political function, which has been since re-evaluated by the newspaper's Board of Contributors through an independent process during each four-twelvemonth election cycle, with whatever decision to circumvent the policy based on a consensus vote in which fewer than 2 of the editorial board'south members dissent or hold differing opinions.[58] For most of its history, the newspaper'due south political editorials (nigh of them linked to the then-current Presidential election bicycle) had focused instead on providing stance on major issues based on the differing concerns of voters, the vast corporeality of information on these themes, and the lath's aim to provide a fair viewpoint through the diverse political ideologies of its members and avoid reader perceptions of bias.

Such avoidance of doing political editorials played a great part in United states Today's long-standing reputation for "fluff", but after its 30th anniversary revamp, the newspaper took a more active stance on political problems, calling for stronger gun laws after the Sandy Hook Simple Schoolhouse shooting in 2012. It heavily criticized the Republican Political party for both the 2013 authorities shutdown and the 2015 revolts in the United States Business firm of Representatives that concluded with the resignation of John Boehner as Firm Speaker. It also called out then-President Barack Obama and other top members of the Autonomous Party for what they perceived equally "inaction" over several problems during 2013–14, particularly over the NSA scandal and the ISIL beheading incidents.

The editorial lath broke from the "not-endorsement" policy for the first fourth dimension on September 29, 2016, when it published an op-ed piece condemning the candidacy of Republican nominee Donald Trump, calling him "unfit for the presidency" due to his inflammatory campaign rhetoric (specially that aimed at the printing, with certain media organizations being openly targeted and fifty-fifty banned from campaign rallies, including The New York Times, The Washington Mail service, CNN and the BBC, armed services veterans who had been prisoners of state of war, including 2008 Republican presidential candidate and Vietnam War veteran John McCain, immigrants, and various ethnic and religious groups); his temperament and lack of financial transparency; his "checky" business organisation tape; his use of simulated and hyperbolic statements; the inconsistency of his viewpoints and bug with his vision on domestic and foreign policy; and, based on comments he had fabricated during his campaign and criticisms by both Democrats and Republicans on these views, the potential risks to national security and constitutional ethics under a Trump administration, asking voters to "resist the siren vocal of a dangerous demagogue".[59] The lath noted that the piece was not a "qualified endorsement" of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, for whom the lath was unable to reach a consensus for endorsing (some editorial board members expressed that Clinton's public service record would aid her "serve the nation ably every bit its president", while others had "serious reservations most [her] sense of entitlement, [...] lack of candor and [...] farthermost carelessness in handling classified information"), endorsing instead tactical voting against Trump and GOP seats in swing states, advising voters to make up one's mind whether to vote for either Clinton, Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, Dark-green Party nominee Jill Stein or a write-in candidate for president; or focus on Senate, Business firm and other downward-ballot political races.[60] [61] [62]

In February 2018, U.s.a. Today stirred controversy past publishing an op-ed past Jerome Corsi, the DC bureau chief for the fringe conspiracy website InfoWars.[63] [64] Corsi, a prominent conspiracy theorist, was described by The states Today every bit an "author" and "investigative journalist".[63] Corsi was a prominent proponent of the false conspiracy theory that Barack Obama was not a US citizen, and Infowars has promoted conspiracy theories such as 9/11 existence an within job and the Sandy Claw massacre existence a hoax staged by child actors.[63]

In October 2018, Us Today was criticized past NBC News for publishing an editorial by President Trump that was replete with inaccuracies.[65] The Washington Postal service fact-checker said that "almost every sentence contained a misleading statement or a falsehood."[66]

In 2020, USA Today endorsed a specific presidential candidate for the offset time, Autonomous nominee Joe Biden. The paper also published an opposing editorial by Vice President Mike Pence, which called for his and Trump's re-ballot.[67]

Personnel [edit]

In May 2012, Larry Kramer – a xl-year media industry veteran and erstwhile president of CBS Digital Media – was appointed president and publisher of USA Today, replacing David Hunke, who had been publisher of the newspaper since 2009.[68] Kramer was tasked with developing a new strategy for the paper as information technology sought to increase revenue from its digital operations.[69]

In July 2012, Kramer hired David Callaway – whom the one-time had hired as lead editor of MarketWatch in 1999, ii years after Kramer founded the website – every bit the paper'south editor-in-chief. Callaway had previously worked at Bloomberg News covering the cyberbanking, investment-banking and asset-management businesses throughout Europe and at the Boston Herald, where he co-wrote a daily financial cavalcade on "comings and goings in the Boston concern district".[seventy]

The current Editor-in-Primary is Nicole Carroll, who has served since February 2018.[71]
