One of the biggest differences noted by the researchers was the emphasis put on a single story. While the mainstream media tended to revisit the same story from a different angle each day, users were happier dipping in to a variety of topics.

It's just the news, without all the self-important analysts clogging up airtime with commentary almost bad enough for YouTube.
