A News Search Engine That Breaks Out By Source Type

I'm not sure how new it is, and I get the sense that the source list is a bit limited, but NewsLookup is interesting in that you can break out your results by source type (Magazine, Radio, Newspapers, Internet) and other variables with six pull-down menus underneath the query box. It's available at http://www.newslookup.com/ .

As already noted, once you enter the query you can chose a media type, source region, and where you want to search for your keywords (in document title, in full document, etc.)

A search for "baseball" in television sources found 227 results. Results include the standard title, snippet, and URL, but also a link to a cached copy, page size, a date (which I figure is an index date) and also the page's meta tags and meta description.

There's not a source list here but I get the impress this that isn't an overly-large source set. But I like the fact that you can break it out both by source type and location, and that there are cached copies available.
