«As a journalist, I had a wonderful window on the world,» Neuharth wrote in «Plain Talk,» a final column he said should be published in USA TODAY after his death. «For nearly 50 years as a reporter and editor, I tried to tell stories accurately and fairly, without opinion.»

It was fitting that Neuharth would try to have the last word, even on the topic of his own passing. The longtime newspaperman, media executive and columnist died after sustaining injuries in a fall at his home.

Populär, bunt, anders als die klassischen Tageszeitungen: «USA Today» war die wichtigste Print-Neugründung der achtziger Jahre – und schliesslich auch das meistgelesene Blatt des Landes. Nun ist ihr Erfinder Al Neuharth im Alter von 89 Jahren in Florida gestorben.

Neuharth «was, is and always will be USA Today,» Dave Callaway, the editor-in-chief, added. «He holds a remarkable place in the history of American journalism, and the spirit and passion which he brought to our industry will never be extinguished.»
