this is an important illustration of how much framing matters in journalism. the KEY difference is that usa today repeats USC's own language as the truth. they canceled it over safety. la times headline explains that it's what USC claimed. journalists can't repeat institutional PR claims as truth.
also tbh -- how much photo selection matters. usa today's explicitly appeals to conservative values like authority and tradition
