News Aggregation Websites
Examples of this sort of website are the Drudge Report and the Huffington Post. There are also websites like Google News, DecaPost and World News (WN) Network where aggregation is entirely automatic, using algorithms which carry out contextual analysis and group similar stories together, and JockSpin, which aggregates and categorizes most headlines automatically, but supplements with manually curated headlines as well as its own articles.
News aggregation websites started with sites like the Drudge Report, NewsNow, Andrew Breitbart and the Huffington Post, where content was still entered by humans. Newer sites, such as FeedSavvy.com, Google News, E! Science News, and News Clusters on the other hand, are based on algorithms filling the content from a range of either automatically selected or manually added sources.

Famous quotes containing the word news:
“Fashion is primitive in its insistence on exhibitionism, which withers in isolation. The catwalk fashion show with its incandescent hype is its apotheosis. A ritualized gathering of connoiseurs and the spoilt at a spotlit parade of snazzy pulchritude, it is an industrialized version of the pagan festivals of renewal. At the end of each seasonal display, a priesthood is enjoined to carry news of the omens to the masses.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
