News Vs. Location of Reporters

I stumbled on something pretty interesting today.

As any journalist knows, news has to be about people – they either make it, or are affected by it. No people, no news. It therefore stands to reason that heavily populated areas of the US, like California or the Northeast, generate most of the news stories. But even allowing for population, some locations account for a disproportionately high number of news items.

Hey, I gotta put legitimate stuff on here occasionally.
