UN General Assembly live: Global leaders from China, Russia address world issues
What does it take to make people sit with a live feed of speeches from the podium in New York? On USA TODAY, "UN General Assembly live: Global leaders from China, Russia address world issues" is doing exactly that, at roughly twenty-four times the pace of the channel's usual first day.
That is a wide gap for an outlet whose new uploads normally begin their lives in the thousands. The title does the explaining: it names two of the delegations taking their turn in the General Assembly's annual gathering of world leaders.
People seem to be watching rather than talking. Under all those views, the stream holds just three comments, a hush that suits a newspaper's straight feed of diplomats reading their speeches into the record.
