Small newsrooms have been replaced by Reddit, blogs, and a nexus of updates from Facebook, mailing lists, and instant messaging.
News isn’t just what gets printed on paper. There’s nothing about printing information on paper that somehow makes it special.

- bloomer 8y agoReddit, blogs, Facebook and the rest have not broken any important stories. Actual news is broken by paid investigative reporters.
- stale2002 8y agoThis is absolutely not true. Places like reddit break news all the time. At least in the subjects that I follow, those being gaming and livestreaming, I see news stories break on reddit, because of something that someone posted in the comment section, or as a top level original content post form a user created clip, with extreme frequency! Reddit is argueable the best place to find developing news for these specific subjects, at least. And it only hits the "mainstream" media hours and hours after some rando had just made a comment about it, and posted a video link.
