Resource dependence theory and related theories of management suggest online-only news media may displace legacy news media, but until that happens the two systems are likely to be dependent on the same resource: news. This quantitative content analysis finds that the systems exist as parallel but distinctly separate entities. Websites associated with legacy news media such as newspapers publish mostly hard news or news analysis in the form of original work. New, online-only news media publish mostly unoriginal features, but the origins of much of the content published by onlineonly media are unclear.

新媒体，传统媒体和对采购的误解

资源依赖理论和相关的管理理论表明，仅在线新闻媒体可能会取代传统新闻媒体，但在此之前，两个系统可能都依赖于同一资源：新闻。这种定量内容分析发现，系统以并行但明显分开的实体形式存在。与传统新闻媒体（例如报纸）相关的网站大多以原创作品的形式发布硬新闻或新闻分析。仅限在线的新新闻媒体大多发布原始功能，但尚不清楚由仅限在线的媒体发布的许多内容的来源。
