USA Today is a national American daily newspaper published by the Gannett Company. It was founded by Al Neuharth.

According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, the paper has 1.8 million copies as of March 2010[1] compared to the Wall Street Journal's 2.1 million though this figure includes the WSJ's 400,000 paid-for, online subscribers. USA Today remains the widest circulated print newspaper in the United States. USA Today is distributed in all fifty states, Canada, the District of Columbia,Puerto Rico, Guam and the United Kingdom. The newspaper has its headquarters in Tysons Corner, unincorporatedFairfax County, Virginia.[2] Currently, USA Today sells for US$1.00 in newsstands; however, it is often found free at hotels and airports that distribute it to their customers. - Wikipedia
It was a very interesting day. We had a behind the scenes tour of the newsrooms where the reporters and editors were writing and creating the stories and news. USA Today has many education components and they shared with us many of the projects available. It was really cool that they also spent a fair amount of time asking us what we thought and what suggestions we had for improvement and new ideas for them to consider. Everywhere we go we are shown the highest respect as educators. Checkout USA Today website.
Several of us carpooled and I was the last one dropped off, so Terrie and I decided to stop and share a pizza. Nice ending to the day.
