What Surprised You About USA Today?

USA Today Mobile Editor Emily Brown spoke Thursday about the high percentage of the organization's audience coming to the site through mobile -- about 66 percent. I knew mobile traffic was high, but I didn't realize how high at USA Today.

What surprised you about the visit?
