Collated news website/app

[Dracoro]

Anyone know if there is a site/app that collates news stories of the day. For example, "story X" and links to the main news sites about that story.

It does NOT have to be a live newsreel type thing, ideally a daily collation that's been "properly" put together. A bit like a daily version of The Week magazine.

You could use flipboard to collate and present your choice of news sources to you. I don;t use it that often but it is does a professsional job of collating into a magazine format.

Sounds a bit like 'Google News' where you get the headline presented to you and 5 or so sources for that story?

http://news.google.co.uk if you haven't seen it.

That's kinda what I want, although the layout is awful, it's just like search results really.

It also has tabloid entries which I don't want either but that's nitpicking. That said, I like the idea of some "quality control" like you get in The Week magazine although I don't necessarily want editorial control as such. It tends to give a reasonable cross section but filters out the rubbish. There's so much shoddy/rubbish journalism out there (and often spread over news providers) and I don't like to get my news from "one" place but like, for example, the ease of use of the BBC or Telegraph sites. Maybe there's a gap in the market and it doesn't exist currently.

I guess I want something very akin to The Week mag but daily and online. Maybe something that lets you prevent/allow certain sites being included (so I get all the broadsheets but no tabloid dross).

Anyway, google is one suggestion that's not bad, any others?

Can't help if you don't like the layout, but you can blacklist sources using Google News, I never see a link from the Daily Mail.

[Dracoro]

Didn't realise you could blacklist sites. May be the nearest I'll get to what I want.

I wasn't blaming you for the crap layout, the suggestion itself was good.

I've just installed News360 on an Android tablet, and I have to say it's looking pretty promising. I'm still mucking about with creating a login and so on, so can't go cheerleading too hard, but it sounds like what you're looking for. Except screening tabloids, but it's not their fault - some people think that's news too

I think they have an iPhone version too if you're that way inclined...

Android Market linky (tablet version)

Ooh, I like that. ta!
