Aggregators preferred to newspapers

Lycos's news-only search engine now indexes 3,000 news sites every minute, making it the most up to date non-wires news seeker on the web. Google's news search, though better presented, clocks in at a paltry 100 sites per hour or better. According to Forrester Research, people prefer the portals to newspaper sites to get news: their search found that 42% of internet users read news online at least once a month - but just one in four visit newspaper sites.
