general satisfaction with OCR.com, and topic, and direct satisfaction ratings for that topic among those
who are interested in it.

--Fewer site users expect state, national and international news compared to local, but they tend to be
stronger news consumers, and they are more likely dissatisfied with coverage.

Expectations and reputation for financial reporting are low. Technology, science, health and medicine
appear to have potential for growth. Health care is very big now, obviously, and sorting through the
great volume of coverage likely is very difficult for many consumers.

--The relatively high interest in food and modest interest in sports reflects the gender composition of the
site audience. The lack of a NFL team in the market also is a limiting factor. Prep sports also tends to be
