USA Today, founded by Al Neuharth and launched on September 14, 1982, is an American daily newspaper headquartered in New York City. It revolutionized the industry with its concise reports, heavy use of colorized images, and infographics, though critics initially derided it as a McPaper for prioritizing television-style nuggets over in-depth stories. The paper quickly expanded from its initial launch in Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and switched to full-color photography across all sections on July 2, 1984, just before launching its international edition. Today, it attracts over 134 million monthly website visits and holds the fourth-largest print circulation in the U.S., with its well-regarded sports section and global distribution influencing newspapers worldwide. Despite early skepticism, its dynamic design fundamentally changed the look and feel of newspapers around the globe.
