Why read a single news source, rather than an aggregator?
- The aggregator pulls isolated stories out of the context of their publications.
- Over time, Google News give you more of what you like, which is fine. However, you don't know what you are missing!
- Newspapers publish and arrange the stories that they report.
- Individual newspapers have established reputations that you can rely upon
