Sample Answer & Audio Transcript
Hello again, ahem. Well, we're near the end of our unit on newspapers. I'm going to talk about our national paper, USA Today. Some of you might recognize it as a topic of this week's reading assignment.
U .S., USA Today is now more than 25 years old. When it began, few expected it would last this long. Well, not only has it lasted, it has thrived. USA Today is the largest selling daily newspaper in America.
It is also distributed in many countries around the world, but that's only part of the story. The real success of USA Today is the way it changed the newspaper industry. USA Today changed the way papers look, it changed the way reporters write, and it changed the way papers gather and deliver news.
USA Today set out to be different. Newspapers at the time were in trouble. Fewer people were reading them. The papers were full of bad news about crime and killing. They had long stories. They didn't have color photos and pictures.
