USA Today loses editor in chief Caren Bohan after just one year

Caren Bohan has stepped down as editor in chief of USA Today today after just over a year in the role. The news comes as parent company Gannett continues to face financial difficulties, including a recent round of major cost-cutting measures. Bohan took charge of USA Today in September 2024, bringing experience from her time at Reuters and her previous political reporting for the paper. Her departure was confirmed by Monica Richardson, the outlet’s senior vice president, though no official reason was provided. The exit leaves USA Today without a permanent editor in chief for now. The paper’s parent company, Gannett, remains under financial strain following its latest round of budget reductions. No further details about Bohan’s departure or future plans have been released.
