I was having a good rummage around the recently launched NewsTechZilla site earlier tonight.
It’s a site which promises “not just tech news, but tech for news” which means its my first new reader subscription for 2009.
So far, even though its only been launched for a couple of days, it has got some very hands-on help for getting started with lots of things such as this very step-by-step guide to yahoopipes to networking to reinvent ad revenue streams.
I couldn’t help take a peek at the poll the blog is featuring at the moment: Where do you get your news?
Predictably t’internet was tops at the point I voted. Twitter was in second place but not one person had cast a vote for poor old newspapers.
Surprised?

The thing is how much of the news from the internet is from Google News (so from newspapers, etc) or similar sources. After all, a lot of blog posts are just lifts from newspaper sites, so it’s coming from papers but a lot of people aren’t realising it.

not at all surprising really. Its a web based tech site whos target market is the internet using tech types so its obvious they would get there news from such media surely?

@Craig – that is a good point, the source of the story is sometimes overlooked due to the delivery.
@munklefish like you , I’m not in the least bit surprised. But you’d be amazed to see how many journalists believe print is the dominant source and online is some sort of add-on.
