Among those who indicate an interest in online news, there are varying levels of interest by specific category of news. • General breaking news is widely sought after, with nearly two-thirds of online news readers indicating that they are ‘very interested’ in the genre. • In-depth analysis and editorial/opinion pieces are much less appealing to a mass audience – less than 25% of online news readers indicate strong interest in these areas.

Attributes of a Good News and Information Site • Community and transactional features draw more limited interest among local online news readers than do general news topics such as international news or political coverage. • Less than 20% of local news users feel it is important for a news Web site to allow you to buy and sell merchandise. • Video and audio features are not widely viewed as essential for a news Web site, although use of these features has grown steadily over the years.
