Popular news sites don't update that often

In a survey published in OJR of 30 newspaper websites in the US, only 12 were found to make regular updates (ranging from 60 to 200 per day) to their home pages. Five made virtually no changes and the remaining 13 only added breaking stories. Illustrates how many newspaper websites are still basically regurgitators of their print content and follow the same cycles. Article summarised in E-Media Tidbits, plus a little bit of controversy over what constitutes the home page of a newspaper website.
