According to the article the gatekeeper effect is the absence of other news and some of that news is actually relevant the primary cause of the gatekeeper effect is bias of the gatekeeper.
The primary reason the author gives for "economic interference" is the if the company is a large corporation it is hard to generate the most attention competing against others.
I think that the internet has no effect on media gatekeepers because most towns and large cities have still their newspapers online and printed. This means that the gatekeeper still has to do what they were assigned
