Subjectot: of a sort, alternative news collection sources?
Message-ID<x5Rip-Sp-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
Hi all,
When Google made major changes to its google news platform, someone 
richly and kindly created an alternative that kept the old google news 
format.
www.theoldgnews.com
Unfortunately word got back to google with their making more changes to 
the point the developers behind this source have shut down.
they are open to others taking it on of course, which might have happened 
by now..fingers crossed.
If not, does anyone know of an alternative source that provides a 
collection of news stories from various outlets in one place?
Thanks,
Kare

Many news sources provide RSS feeds, either of headlines with
click-through or full articles.

Most newspapers and TV news sources, of course.

The better ones offer multiple feeds, so that you can subscribe
separately for world news vs country news vs sports, for
example.

Does collaboratively-edited publishing meet the need?

    Anyone can contribute, and articles are written collaboratively for
    a global audience. We strive at all times to meet the policy of
    writing and reporting from a neutral point of view, ensuring our
    reporting is as fair as possible.

    Furthermore, everything we write is cited, to maintain the highest
    standards of reliability.
