The questions that come up before every placement
Not through any public form. USA Today publishes no press release submission channel or rate card. The two real routes are a free pitch to the newsroom, with no guarantee, and syndication through the Global Media Package, where USA Today is a named outlet.
The rate is public and listed in the packages section of this page. It is a one time price for the Global Media Package, with no retainer. That covers the writing, the syndication with USA Today named on the outlet list, and a full analytics report with every live link.
Plan on nofollow. Major news sites apply rel=nofollow to outbound links in syndicated releases as standard policy. The reason to buy the placement is credibility and visibility in search and AI answers, not link equity.
The package sells permanent links, so placements are not scheduled for removal. Your PDF proof report lists every live URL, and you can recheck each one whenever you want.
Expect clear labeling. Syndicated releases run with the contributing source in the byline, separate from articles written by USA Today journalists. That is standard for syndicated content and does not stop the page from being indexed in search or cited by AI assistants.
