USA Today

National colorful daily

USA Today is an American daily newspaper founded in 1982, known for its colorful graphics, short articles, and national distribution.

Its format—bite-sized stories, infographics, and weather maps—pioneered a visual approach to news that influenced journalism broadly.

The hotel offers complimentary copies of USA Today.

The name sometimes describes superficial or simplified coverage: It's USA Today journalism—all graphics, no depth.
