This is IN THE NEWS in VOA Special English.

At the end of each year, editors and news directors of the Associated Press in the United States vote for the top ten news stories of the year.

They named the American economy as the top news story of 2009. The government approved more than 780 billion dollars to help the struggling economy. Yet the unemployment rate was over ten percent. Many banks failed. And the federal deficit reached a record 1.4 trillion dollars.

Economy was top news story of 2009

Last year, the top news story was the election of Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States. This year, Mr. Obama's inauguration was voted the second top story.

The battle between Republicans and Democrats over health care reform was voted the third top story of the year. Reform of the country's health care system was one of President Obama's top goals.

The American auto industry was fourth on the list. Two of the big three American automakers filed for bankruptcy after suffering sharp drops in sales.

Next on the list was the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu. The virus affected tens of millions of people worldwide. Officials said swine flu sickened about 50 million Americans and killed 10,000.

Economy was top news story of 2009

The war in Afghanistan was also among the top news stories. Last month, President Obama decided to send 30,000 more American troops to Afghanistan. Public opinion studies show that the war has grown increasingly unpopular with Americans.

The AP editors said the death of singer Michael Jackson in June was also among the top news stories. The 50-year-old international star was just days from beginning a series of performances in London. Jackson's doctor became the subject of a police investigation after admitting he gave Jackson a powerful drug to help him sleep.

Another top story happened in November. Thirteen people were killed in a shooting at Fort Hood military base in Texas. Army psychiatrist Major Nidal Hasan is accused of the killings.

Economy was top news story of 2009

Senator Edward Kennedy's death in August was also among the top news stories. Mr. Kennedy was one of the nation's longest-serving and most respected senators.

And finally, the tenth news story of the year has been called the "Miracle on the Hudson." Pilot Chesley Sullenberger safely landed a US Airways passenger plane on New York's Hudson River after both its engines failed.

For the first time, the AP invited members of the public to name their top news stories. A separate vote was held on Facebook. More than 1,400 people took part.

They chose President Obama's inauguration as the top story, followed by the economy. Eight stories appeared on both top ten lists.
