February source of news

While the digital world offers a variety of news sources, Google News stands among the best.

The computer-generated site compiles headlines from more than 4,500 sources around the world. It offers personalized options that puts readers in control of the types of stories they most want to see. Headlines are hyperlinks that go right to the article in the original publication. Everything is done by computer, so there is no personal bias with regards to political views or anything like that. Readers may also subscribe free to alerts weekly, for breaking news, or a number of other personal options. News alerts may be sent to e-mail or to a cell phone.

It doesn't matter how new or old the story is. Either way readers can easily find it with a simple search or a look through the site's archives, which hold stories dating back more than 200 years. The real joy of Google News is that readers can find multiple perspectives from multiple publications on the same story so they can formulate their own opinions on what's most important. The reader is in control, and the options are endless.
