A Nation Of News? Not Really

Here is an interesting post I dug up from a blog today about where news originates in the U.S.. The map, located here, broke down where news originates based on datelines from newspapers.

Obviously, the number one place for news is Washington D.C.. This shouldn’t be a surprise since it is our nation’s capitol and where the president is from.

California is second on the list of news makers. Most populous state plus Hollywood and San Francisco equals a ton of news.

The most interesting part of this map to me is that Texas receives less news coverage than Georgia and some other states. Texas has three major cities — Dallas, San Antonio and Houston — and a cultural epicenter, Austin. Why wouldn’t it be higher than Georgia? The author’s reason: CNN.
