USA Today

Founding editor Peter Prichard '66 happily accedes to the nickname "McPaper" for his two-million-circulation weekday newspaper. After a $600 million investment by parent Gannett Company, the 12-year-old venture has at last turned a profit. Mor than just a pretty weather map, USA Today aspires to be "the nation's newspaper" at a time when the nation looks for information in tinier packages.
