I used to have a short list of Bitcoin and general crypto-related news sites in my bookmarks bar but now I see that the list has become very, very long. There is CoinDesk, CoinTelegraph, CoinsSource, Bitcoin Magazine, Altcoin Herald, CryptoArticles, CryptoCoinsNews, as well as similar sites like Let's Talk Bitcoin which have articles and news but presents the information in a show format.

I'm guessing that most of these sites profit from ad revenue since they tend to have lots of ads. So is it profitable? And does there really need to be so many news sites covering a single topic?

Well! the more sites the better .
Why does it matter if most of the site is having same article or talk , it's news and everyone covers it in their own way.

you are guessing correct. there always were and always will be people who try to earn some bucks from creating a website and putting a lot of advertisement on. but there are only a couple of news websites that are worth even looking at. i myself prefer coindesk

Most of them are there only for the ad revenue. Nothing else.

Good! They are competing to be the leading press media and try to attract as many readers as possible to generate revenue. We, as a cryptocoiner, pick the best site to read the information about it.

Most of the news is rehashed crap with no additional editorial analysis. I don't need to see the same three sentences of information rewritten in ten different ways.

Yeah most people probably start one for the ad revenue. There is a ton of normal news sites as well so not too strange that there is a ton of bitcoin related ones.
