Last Thursday I kicked off a new series of posts in response to people asking what I read (besides books) from week to week.

You can read the first post here, and today’s “non-book” reading selection is:

The USA TODAY

I love this newspaper!

As I suggest in my “How to Read More” Webinar, I don’t give a lot of time to reading the daily newpapers – a quick scan is fine.

With the USA Today, you can scan all the sections and pick out one or two focus articles in 15 minutes or less.

My favorite editions are the Thursday edition because of the focus on books and the Fri/Sat/Sun edition because of the expanded focus on culture.

But more times than not, there’s something I find helpful, interesting, file-worthy almost every day.

If nothing else, the survey boxes and research reports that make up the ‘at a glance section’ give flavor to my preaching.

No newspaper gives a better snapshot of what the USA is thinking than this one.

Check back next week for the next selection…
