history

The newspaper was founded on September 15, 1982 by Al Neuharth , the then head of Gannett and is now the flagship of the Gannett group. The first editor-in-chief was John Seigenthaler Senior from 1982 to 1991 . USA Today was the first newspaper to use satellite broadcasting capabilities to print the newspaper in various locations across the United States. In 2001 USA Today moved from Washington DC to Tysons Corner , to a new 120,000 m² corporate headquarters.

In March 2004, the paper was the subject of a scandal surrounding its longtime columnist and Pulitzer Prize nominee Jack Kelley. He has been accused of making headlines . As a result of the scandal, the newspaper had Kelley's article and his alleged whereabouts (including in Cuba , Israel and Jordan ) checked. Subsequently, Kelley resigned but denied the allegations. The paper's editor , Craig Moon, printed a public apology on the newspaper's front page.
