The New York Times publishes a daily newspaper and has an online edition that is updated daily. Online, they have a Global Edition and a U.S. Edition as well as video news. They group related stories on the page with pictures and external links.
The Times makes its money primarily from its paper sales, but with more and more people using the web, it needs online revenues as well. There are a few small adds on the website, and there is a TimesReader 2.0 which will deliver the Times to your computer for $4.62 a week.
Conversely, NCPR generates revenue from listener and underwriter donations, so there are no ads on their site or on the air.
They focus on local news from their listening area, which includes southern Ontario, northern NY, and western VT. There is a lot of multimedia on their website, including audio of all their stories, photos, interactive maps, and occasional videos.
NCPR is the only radio news outlet I followed for this class.
The Blog Herald is, pretty obviously given its name, a blog. Their news isn't the general news of the New York Times; Blog Herald posts about social media/social networking news.
But like the Times, Blog Herald uses ads posted on it's site to make money.
