A recent study found that 95 percent of news stories that offer new information (facts not already reported elsewhere) come from traditional media – 60 percent of which is represented by newspapers. In the study, which used Baltimore as a test city, only 4 percent of new news made its premiere on a digital-only outlet. (Los Angeles Times, 1/11/10)

There are risks and consequences for the loss of traditional journalism. Most blog news sites are uninterested in actually covering news.
