Even those are traditional sources. Things like

Have given me much more insight and value in terms of sports reporting and interviews than any of the traditional sources ever have.
In terms of investigative reporting, boots on the ground in conflict-zone reporting, etc. VICE news (originally Canadian) has tons of that stuff and they are agile and adaptable and free. You can even pick up their thick and lush magazine for free at various shops in town.
If these guys that were let go from Post Media are actually talented and connected, they would be wise to align themselves with new online media and get wider audience than local.
