Indexed anywhere?
Is there anywhere where I can search for articles in back issues of USA Today for use in WP articles? Newspapers.com doesn't have it, for example. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  15:30, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * ProQuest has it, and EC editors have ProQuest access through Wikipedia Library. Schazjmd   (talk)  16:11, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, all ProQuest gives me is a brief abstract. I was needing the full text. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  16:30, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Huh...I spot-checked a few issues and see full text options for all of the articles. I do see that the full-text coverage only goes back to Feb 17, 1997. Schazjmd   (talk)  16:44, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Alas, the article I need is from a date well before that. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  16:53, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

USA Today to Remove 23 Articles After Investigation Into Fabricated Sources
Per NYT. Should this be mentioned somewhere? Endwise (talk) 17:34, 16 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I just added that info to the bottom under a "controversies" section. 2600:1702:2550:3F8F:AED2:4CD3:A390:5140 (talk) 15:43, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

NewsGuard gave the Fake News a 100 percent credibility rating and still gives the same rating to USA Today today. That might also be worth mentioning. --Conspiration 21:47, 17 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I doubt they'll ever update that. News Guard and other fact checkers seem to be more to preserve the status quo than to actually rate journalism; I emailed MBFC and they refuse to ding USA Today's rating as apparently 23 fake articles doesn't mean an intent to deceive. They ding other sources for even a single failed fact check, even if it's only a partial fail (as in "half true"). 2600:1702:2550:3F8F:AED2:4CD3:A390:5140 (talk) 00:17, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Best seller list gone?
Please add coverage of this topic. I just saw the list mentioned in the past tense and came here to find out about it. https://twitter.com/mostlybree/status/1602352001324650519?t=qZz1tac3_qI8Jyjsfu4cuw&s=19 Pifvyubjwm (talk) 09:56, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * A temporary hiatus isn't really worth mentioning. They've said they'll have updates on the best seller list feature in 2023, I suggest we wait and see what the long-range plan turns out to be. If they discontinue it permanently, there'll be plenty of coverage on it. Schazjmd   (talk)  19:39, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
