On Friday, the Niles Daily Star and Dowagiac Daily News will begin carrying USA WEEKEND Magazine.

Leader Publications added USA WEEKEND to its Friday newspapers because of its fresh perspective on the people and trends that affect our lives.

Each week inside USA WEEKEND, readers will find lively interviews with today’s most intriguing personalities, from top celebrities to extraordinary people who make a difference in their communities.

Readers will also find helpful advice to save time and money, along with delicious recipes from The Culinary Institute of America and “The Splendid Table” radio show, health information from the Emmy Award-winning TV series “The Doctors,” and advice columns on technology and personal finance.

Each issue of USA WEEKEND also features fun games from puzzle master Terry Stickles.

The cover story for this week’s issue is “The Future of Media.” Media guru and two-time National Magazine Award winner Michael Wolff will provide insight into where he thinks media is headed.

The USA WEEKEND staff welcomes comments and questions from readers.

They can be reached at 703-854-3933 or visit them online at usaweekend.com.
