Michael Smith
Copy Editor
I have worn many hats during my 26 years at USA TODAY. My journey started as a States reporter. From there, I transitioned to the design team and copy desk. For a time, I helped originate graphics for News. I was fortunate enough to be the Snapshots coordinator for a few years. That was a really fun job. However, I mostly designed pages for the Nation’s Newspaper in our News, Life and Money sections for many years, eventually becoming a Page One designer. Currently, I am on the Editing and Optimization Desk. We edit and finalize copy for print, our digital platform and the USA TODAY Network.
