News Site how do they do it?
I been wondering how does MSNBC, CNN, or you Local Newspaper have there sites up to date with news articles from different agencies like Associated Press, Reuters, etc etc, I know they use a CMS but do they have people looking at these site and get the articles and update themselves. Hope you guys can Answer this

Lots of sites have news feeds that automated scripts can parse periodically.

Here's some from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/help/3223484.stm

Key word: syndication

RSS is a way of pushing content out but most news agencies pay for full syndication from Associated Press, Reuters, BBC, etc. If you're planning to commercially exploit news feeds you should secure the proper permission from these news agencies as well. It's pretty easy to track down, if you find some guy's post around here regarding sports news briefs I believe I have links to some ...

RSS helps, but I think most of the organzations you mentioned will have a person (editor, usually either the general editor or the copy editor) whose job it is to decide which of the myriad of syndicated stories their readers will be interested in.

a person? an editor? What a concept. I wonder if this will catch on?

I'm pretty sure that Google does not have a human do it.

Sometimes I wonder if ABC, NBC and CBS actually still have editors, but that is going OT.

My sister in law works for CNN. If you're watching the main channel when she's at work, it's her job to check the 'wire' and type (copy/paste) the abstracts into the headline crawl along the bottom.

I might have to look into other people RSS feeds with full content into the site.
