> USA Today is deliberately written at a 10th grade reading level, so it’s doubtful how relevant it is for university students.

A 10th grade reading level doesn't mean they only cover stories of interest to 10th graders or younger. It just means they they use a 10th grade vocabulary and sentence structure. Most stories in the NYT could be covered at a 10th grade level and still convey most of the important information.

Sure, but it would mean articles have to run longer as concepts like mRNA or constitutional law are explained using basic words and simple sentence structures. If I’m college educated, I don’t want to waste time reading explanations.
