News-to-news NW• Inbound link #• Outbound link #• Central nodes• Corner nodes
Degree of leakage• Whether the Bay Area is still pointing mainly the websites
from the same area • Or the Internet has changed the way the local websites
behave• Categorizing Links• Categorize news sites if they match the seed site list• News sites out of the box
• Another implication of degree of leakage is to find out new source-like websites that the news benefit from.

Problems in crawling• No standard structure of websites• Author• Comment • Commenters
• Old websites have huge amount of pages• Hard to crawl• Links to non-existing websites
• JavaScript• Advertisements• Media objects
Conclusion• Is news media transitioning because of new technologies like
it has in the past?
• How is the Internet affecting news outlets, journalists, and readers?
Hopefully, network theory and analysis can help find these answers
