Thirty years ago, I traveled a lot for work. In hotel rooms in Springfield, Missouri, or Dubuque, Iowa, I would often enough find USA Today slid under the door when I got up. Now, USA Today didn't really stack up against the local papers in Chicago, New York, or Atlanta, but a smaller city's paper could be pretty thin, and with national coverage largely pulled from the wire services. I tend not to read it much, but it would serve for breakfast reading in a small town.
