Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 1:31pm on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 | As Publisher David Hunke acknowledged on October 9, 209, USA Today circulation dropped by 398,000 copies per day during the six month period ending September 2009.
The sharp decline, from well over 2 million copies per day to 1,880,000 copies, means that USA Today is no longer the largest circulation daily newspaper in the country. That title now belongs to The Wall Street Journal.

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 9:59pm on Sunday, October 18th, 2009 | USA Today Publisher David Hunke discussed the newspaper's circulation decline of 398,000 copies a day in a memo to staff dated October 9, 2009:
From: USA TODAY Publisher
Subject: USA TODAY Circulation
To: USA TODAY Staff
From: Dave Hunke, President & Publisher USA TODAY
As we have anticipated, when the latest ABC Fas Fax circulation report is released on October 26, USA TODAY will post a circulation decline of 398,000 copies per day.
The significant downturn in the economy and its impact on the travel industry are obviously having a domino effect showing in our circulation losses. Before this year, our largest circulation declines came after the attacks of September 11th in 2001. And when the travel industry rebounded in the months that followed, USA TODAY did, too. We fully expect to see circulation increases again as the economy recovers. I'm encouraged by the fact that despite the tough travel economy, we have not lost a single hotel relationship during this recession.
We are aware of the impact this decline may have on advertising, recognizing circulation is one of the factors to affect advertising rates. However, advertising rates are also calculated on a number of other variables as well. The quality of our editorial content and the quality of our audience remain a strong draw for advertisers. Released last month, the Mendelsohn survey of affluent readers (household income of $100,000-plus) reports USA TODAY has more than 3.5 million affluent readers – substantially more than either the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times.
Even with this latest economic impact, USA TODAY remains the nation's number one newspaper in total print circulation. We know these circulation declines are temporary and as the economy continues to recover and the travel industry rebounds, we know our circulation will rebound with it.

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 11:14pm on Sunday, September 27th, 2009 | The FBI kept records about Walter Cronkite, but destroyed them in 2007, USA Today reported on September 23, 2009:
"The FBI destroyed its files on former CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite two years ago under a policy that has been criticized by researchers for allowing potentially valuable records to be wiped out.
A search of the agency's main index of the subjects of FBI investigations found some records tied to Cronkite's name were destroyed in October 2007, the FBI said in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by USA TODAY. Cronkite's death in July at age 92 made any FBI files about him available for release under the federal law."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 9:58pm on Saturday, May 2nd, 2009 | David Hunke, the new publisher of USA Today, sees a future for paid web content at the newspaper, Editor & Publisher reported on May 1, 2009:
"Fresh from implementing a major shake-up at Detroit's two major dailies -- which cutback home delivery under his watch -- David Hunke is ready to make major changes at USA Today if need be.
Named president and publisher of the Gannett Co. flagship earlier this week, Hunke -- former CEO of the Detroit Media Partnership -- says some paid content could emerge on the USA Today Web site and he is not shy about making other innovations if they are required.
"I do have a little experience shaking things up, don’t I?" Hunke, 57, joked Thursday, two days after being named publisher. "We've got to take an immediate look at alignment, alignment of the circulation footprint creating an audience, content attracting and retaining audience, and selling advertising against that audience."
