USA Today Columnists You should Follow

Along with The Wall Street Journal And The New York Times, USA Today holds the position for the widest circulation of newspapers in the US. What makes it noteworthy is the fact that while The WSJ and The NYT have been around for over a century, USA today was founded only in 1982. Today the newspaper has a daily reach of seven million readers all over the world.

USA Today itself made headlines this year when it published an op-ed calling Mr. Donald Trump unfit for Presidency. It was a startling turn of events because the newspaper had maintained a policy of not endorsing candidates. But then these are pretty extraordinary elections, and USA Today remains an extraordinary voice in the mainstream media.
