Even though Google news uses over 4500 sites as new sources there are less than 30 that they utilize as a major source of their content, which include Forbes, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Houston Chronicle, Monsters and Critics.com, Guardian Unlimited, Voice Of America, Boston Globe, International Herald Tribune, and Bloomberg L.P.
