USA TODAY is a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company. It was founded by Allen 'Al' Neuharth. The paper has the widest circulation of any newspaper in the United States (averaging over 2.25 million copies every weekday), and among English-language broadsheets, it comes second world-wide, behind only the 2.6 million daily paid copies of The Times of India. USA Today is distributed in all 50 states and Guam.
USA TODAY was founded in 1982 with the goal of providing a national newspaper in the U.S. market, where generally only a single local newspaper was available. Colorful and bold, with many large diagrams, charts, and photographs, it contrasted with the relatively colorless papers of the time such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
Gannett Company, Inc. (NYSE: GCI) is a publicly-traded media holding company based in the United States. It is the largest U.S. newspaper publisher as measured by total daily circulation.
Gannett Company, Inc. was founded in 1923 by Frank Gannett in Rochester, New York.
Gannett's media properties include many newspapers among the top 50 in the United States, and numerous television stations in the top 10 U.S. television markets.
In addition to USA Today, the nation's largest-circulation paper, Gannett owns 85 daily papers and 900 non-daily papers in the United States and Britain, as well as 23 television stations. The company is valued at $4.8 billion, says washingtonpost.com.
The policy on Gannett newspaper articles are to pull them from the web and charge you for access - after about 2 weeks of publication.
