After Neuharth decided that he could go no further in the Knight organization due to the Knight family's control, in 1963 he accepted Gannett head Paul Miller's offer to move to Gannett's headquarters in Rochester, New York to run its paper there, the Democrat and Chronicle. In 1966 he took charge of Gannett Florida. He started Today in Cocoa, Florida, which eventually became Florida Today.[4] The color schemes used in Florida Today became an inspiration for the initial format for USA Today.
