USA Today captured an unmet need in the market for professionals, students and households that had not been tapped until Gannett seized the opportunity in the 80’s. He reached a segment of the market where readers were in a time crunch to obtain news and relevant consumer information in an expedited convenient manner. He met unmet needs where people were not happy about flipping from page to page to continue the article of interest, so he kept the articles to a single page with the only exception being the front cover articles that continued on other pages within the categorical sections of USA Today. In addition, he provided a way for people to read what the critical facts were without it taking a lot of the readers’ time, making it much…

With USA Today debuting in 1982, it has continued to focus on innovative avenues for continued success and growth as the preferred news source. Personally, I am a very visual news consumer; therefore, what I enjoy most about the USA Today newspaper is the visual and eye catching content it has embedded within the paper -- digital and print versions. The vision the stakeholders had prior to the launch of USA Today was to have a unique approach to an audience and provide more news in less time…

The USA PATRIOT ACT stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (Deflem, McDonough, 2015).

More than 180 governments have urged a rollback of its expansive powers.” (Jost, 2003 p.904). People question the act…

The USA Patriot Act was passed just a short six weeks after the 9/11 attacks which revealed great haste and secrecy among the federal laws. The act has riddled with flaws and has greatly compromised out fundamental freedoms. According to the Virginia Bill of Rights Coalition, they feel that “the Act may constitute a greater danger for America;” but what does that mean for our future? The USA Patriot Act was passed in 2001 after the 9/11 bombing attacks of the Twin Towers and was mainly…
