NBC Nightly News "brand" slogan mirrors "unofficial" slogan of now defunct USIA

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams' current branding slogan as seen prominantly in an integrated advertising campaign with, print, outdoor, TV and radio placements is headlined "Reporting America's Story" Quoting from the NBC web site -- "Anchor and managing editor Brian Williams is reporting America's story. (ital added) Whether that story is around the world or around the corner, NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams takes viewers to the heart of political, international and domestic coverage." [1]

A GAO Report dated Mar. 25, 1974 says, "USIA's unofficial slogan is "Telling America's Story to the World." (ital added) [2] pdf file - 7794.8KB (GOA report number:B-118654/740325, Chapter 2, pg. 22...)

In 1999 the USIA was mergered into the State Department, an archive of the former USIA website is maintained by the University of Illinois at Chicago and can be found here , the current office within the Dept. of State which assumed many of the functions of the former agency is located here.
