rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BeastieGirl - If you know me at all, you will know that I am a traveling fool. In less than a year, I have logged over 100,000 airlines miles and have over 75 hotel stays. So what does all this have to do with a newspaper? Well, quite a lot, actually. Half of...

USA Today: USA Today Does What It Says

Tue, 16 May 2006 23:21:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ksax1 - Anyone who says that the USA Today is not a newspaper must be out of their mind. It's concise, easy to read, and interesting. Sure, it doesn't go in-depth, but that's what the internet is for. If you really want to find out more than 3 paragraphs about...

Fri, 2 Dec 2005 17:05:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author keithpruitt - This is a reposting of the original review of USA Today originally posted August 1, 2000. When USA Today started a few years back, I was one of those doubters who thought it would fold quickly. The very thought of having a paper printed...

USA Today: So Called Paper For America

Mon, 5 Jul 2004 10:33:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fuche_bu - I have always approached the USA Today with a bit of trepidation. I have always been a little leery of its claim to be the USA’s newspaper. It seems a bit pretentious for a paper to make such a lofty claim. It would also seem...

USA Today: Mr. Neuharth's lasting legacy

Thu, 12 Dec 2002 14:40:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Carrathon - USA Today doesn't cater to the elite, the pseudo-intellectuals, or those who wouldn't be caught dead reading a "common person's" paper. Yet, the newspaper doesn't talk down to readers. Among the regular features are items of interest to everyone...

USA Today: Sure, USA Today is easy to read, but...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ooggie - When I think of the American capitalist system, through which large overbearing corporate behemoths control our lives I think particularly of brand names which we Americans can't avoid. McDonald's, Disney, and Nike are just a few which come to mind...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mrkstvns - Can we talk? I know there are reviews here that both love and hate USA Today, and I understand that just one more epinion probably won't change your mind if you've already decided whether or not to read USA Today. But if you're still undecided,...

USA Today: Great for skimming

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 21:47:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author calmo28 - Who really has the time to read a paper that takes over an hour to read? Who really wants to spend that much time reading a paper anyway? We all have busy lives, we need news and information in sound bites.

USA Today: USA Today: Junk Food Journalism

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 21:39:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author houserock54 - USA Today is such a genius idea: the attention span of America's readers combined with their lack of time to actually read the newspaper equals shorter news bits and no "continued on next page" stories. Thus, USA Today has become such a...

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 17:04:00 GMT

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 15:47:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author naphtalia - I first encountered USA Today when staying with my significant other on business trips.

Mon, 18 Sep 2000 01:44:49 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author lf-epin - USA Today is brief, which given its generic content, is a good thing. A person reading this and any other reputable newspaper probably won't find an original piece of content in USA Today.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Rico_B - This paper is frequently criticized for its brevity and its emphasis on colors and graphics. Well, for better or for worse, many major papers have adopted aspects of that style. I will admit that USA Today will not give you the same depth as The New...

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 21:27:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author b_lawhorn - I have to agree with the masses in saying that USA Today skims the surface on news worthy articles. Happily for me, that is exactly the reason why I buy it every day on my lunch break.

Whether I am packing my lunch from home or picking up...
