Your electronic daily news http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/9.html The news service "Soviet Crisis" was my final destination. It was just a few weeks after the attempted coup in Moscow, and I was eager for reports. OTC NewsAlert had the following interesting story: OTC 09/19 0750 FIRST ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOVDATA DAILINE IS LAUNCHED The selection gave three screens with information about a new online service. Briefly, this is what it said: "The SovData DiaLine service includes an on line library of more than 250 Soviet newspapers, business and economic periodicals, profiles of more than 2,500 Soviet firms and key executives that do business with the West, legislative reports and other information." It also said that part of the database was available through LEXIS NEXIS, and soon through Data Star, FT Profile (http://www.ft.com), Reuters, Westlaw, and GBI. Undoubtedly, the name has changed by now. Finally, a fresh story about the fate of the KGB. I read another fifty lines, entered OFF (for "goodbye CompuServe"), and received the following verdict: Thank you for using CompuServe! Off at 09:03 EDT 19 Sep 91 Connect time = 0:07 Seven minutes. Fifteen typed pages of text. US$6.00. Not bad! An overwhelming choice I assume that your "daily online newspaper" will contain other stories. But where do you start? On the Internet, consider Clarinet, an electronic publishing network service providing commercial news and information. It provides general, international, sports, technology, entertainment and professional financial news, special features and columns. Worldnews.com, a multilingual news portal, offers several hundred online news sources in 20 languages and presents them in over 500 subject and geographical categories. Most of its contents are fully searchable. Individual.com provides commercial news . With more than 25,000 pages refreshed daily, over 1,500 topic areas broken down into 240 categories within more than 20 industries, it covers a lot of ground. They claim receipt of up to 20,000 news stories each day from over 700 English language sources newspapers, magazines, trade weeklies, newsletters, news, and press release wires. (October 1996) You can read preselected news by topic area, or have your own "individualized" issue based on your own keywords sent you by e mail every business morning. Individual.com's sources include the following international titles: Newsbytes, Advertising Age International, Euromarketing, Inter Press Service, ITAR/TASS, Lloyd's List, Korea Economic Daily, Kyodo News International, Network World, Nikkei English News, OPEC News Agency, Reuter Business Report, Reuter E.C.

News by mail Some newspapers and news sources invite you to receive their news by email, but not all. Whenever this is the case, check out Web2Mail in Chapter 11. Searching the news The News Index news only search engine indexes current articles from hundreds of sources from around the world. It is not an archive, but a resource for finding more information on current topics you are interested in. The news is broken up into various topics such as business, politics, sci tech, and opinion. Use it to read different versions of a story, and hopefully derive some semblance of what actually occurred. Use it to find multiple sources if your first choice want to charge you for reading it. By following a large number of papers, you can follow ongoing stories as they happen. Use it to monitor what goes on within a topic of interest. Search for a topic by submitting keywords.

(Cache refers to a copy of the page being kept on the daypop server.) We typed the search word "Arendal," which is the name of a small 40,000 inhabitants town in Norway, and received a long list of hits, also from local newspapers... Interestingly for some, the Advanced Search option lets you limit a search to one or several languages (like English, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian. You can also limit your search to one or several geographic areas, ranging from United States to the United Arab Emirates. 7 of 14 23.11.2009 15:46
