...When this fails to happen-when the V does not take form, or when its point is unbalanced to one side or the other-the spectator high in the stands comprehends the surprise first not as an aberration of numbers, of hundredths of a second, but as a jarring visual distortion; and here in the women's 100-meter freestyle, the first race of the '84 Olympic Games, there...
Television news does not often compete with print in digging up investigative stories or in the subtler craft of discerning political and economic trends. But when it comes to covering visual events of known proportions (preferably grand), staged at announced times and places, TV can be informative, intimate and stirring. At its best, live TV enables millions, even billions of people to share an emotional experience.

Stories are short and neutral, and often lead, TV style, with the outlook rather than the hard facts. The paper's appeal is strongly visual: it relies heavily on pictures, charts and other graphics. Like local newscasts, USA Today stresses human interest and the pocketbook impact of events. The major difference from TV is that the paper has no stars: the writing is homogenized, with few grace notes or personal touches, and there...
