The Wall Street Journal will be available to guests upon request at the 3,700 Choice Hotels in North America starting January 1, 2011. Rather than distributing a newspaper to every guest, Choice Hotels gives guests the option to take a paper.

USA Today has been the “preferred paper” of Choice Hotels, and will continue to be an option in 2011, a spokesperson told Reuters. The WSJ overtook USA Today as the largest paper in the U.S. in 2009.

USA Today recently announced more than 100 layoffs and a series of changes in an effort to adapt to the changing media landscape.
