USA Today to start specialized Puerto Rico edition

The new Puerto Rico edition starts Monday, the top-selling daily announced today, and will cater to travelers and tourists on the island. Besides the regular USA Today newspaper, the Puerto Rico edition will include two pages of translated articles from Spanish-language Puerto Rican daily El Nuevo Dia, according to the Associated Press.

"The translated articles will be focused on Puerto Rican politics, economy, society, sports, entertainment and tourism. USAT has a similar partnership in Cancun, Mexico," the AP says.

The Puerto Rico Daily Sun is now the island's only English-language daily. It was created in 2008 by a group of journalists after the San Juan Star folded, according to the news service.
