The reorganization included the creation of five new departments and marked the most extensive overhaul of the publication since it launched in 1982.
The move came in the wake of unofficial reports that media colossus News Corporation is working on a US publication that will be delivered exclusively in digital format to mobile devices such as Apple's iPad tablet computers.
The USA Today overhaul will eliminate about 9 percent of the publication's staff of 1,500 people. A company spokesman told AFP it was too early to say how the layoffs would be distributed and orchestrated. LINK
