USA TODAY is a news website that is owned by Gannett Company. It is categorized as a “blog” because it primarily consists of short, opinionated pieces about current events and issues.
However, USA TODAY also publishes longer stories and investigative pieces that are typically written by veteran journalists.
While USA TODAY is technically a blog, its content is generally considered to be more substantive than that found on most blogs. In fact, many people consider USA TODAY to be one of the most credible sources of news in the United States.
As a result, USA TODAY is generally accepted as being a bona fide news outlet. However, it cannot be classified as a traditional news website because it does not maintain a strictly journalistic approach to reporting.
Instead, USA TODAY relies heavily on the opinions of its columnists and staff writers to provide its readers with commentary and analysis about current events.
