Note: April 18, 2023: I have made a number of additions to this list since my update of March 2022. Thanks to many of my former colleagues at USA TODAY/Gannett for crowdsourcing many of these additions. I will continue to add books to the list as I become aware of them.
Last March 15 I wrote about “A Curated List of Books by Current/Former USA TODAY Writers.” Mainly by crowdsourcing to learn about authors and books I didn’t include on the original list (starting immediately after the list was published and continuing throughout the year), I’ve updated and revised the list. Most of the crowdsourcing came through the Facebook groups USA TODAY Alumni, and Ex-Gannett Employees Group. (I worked for Gannett-owned USA TODAY for 21 years, 1987-2008.)
As I noted in the original post, besides current and former USA TODAY staffers (reporters, editors, executives, and people working behind the scenes), I’ve also included authors with USAT bylines, but who were primarily associated with either Gannett News Service, or individual Gannett newspapers.
Based on the above criteria, if there are books/authors that you think I should add, please let me know!
