I wanted to place a public ad with USA Today. To do so, I was transferred to Doug Knowles Jr. Mr. Knowles took the time and patience to explain the course of action in submitting an ad and the professionalism in getting the post not only done, but to my satisfaction.I am completely satisfied as he has proven himself highly-qualified to provide the best of service.Thank You,Nashid Abdul-Rahman

We contacted USA Today about running a legal ad. We didn't end up needing to run it, but Kim Ridgeway was wonderful, helpful and considerate and easy to work with! Wish all the rest of the papers were as easy to work with.

We have been using Russell Johns Associates for quite a while now. Our account specialist, Kim, has been spectacular. Very professional service and a very fast response and turnaround time, usually the same day. We plan to continue advertising with Kim and Russell Johns Associates.

Kim Ridgeway is the advertising specialist that I dealt with. Kim has a talented eye for what makes an ad eye-popping. Kim works with the customer to find a way to have USA Today placement that is commensurate with a person's advertising budget. Kim is extremely easy to reach, via phone or email, and is professional and responsive. A real gem!
