Personnel[edit]
In May 2012, Larry Kramer – a 40-year media industry veteran and former president of CBS Digital Media – was appointed president and publisher of USA Today, replacing David Hunke, who had been publisher of the newspaper since 2009.[75] Kramer was tasked with developing a new strategy for the paper as it sought to increase revenue from its digital operations.[76]
In July 2012, Kramer hired David Callaway – whom he had hired as lead editor of MarketWatch in 1999, two years after Kramer founded that website – as the paper's editor-in-chief. Callaway had previously worked at Bloomberg News covering the banking, investment-banking and asset-management businesses throughout Europe and at the Boston Herald, where he co-wrote a daily financial column on "comings and goings in the Boston business district".[77]
The editor-in-chief as of February 2018 is Nicole Carroll.[78]
