newsticker: Overview
1 Overview
**********
Newsticker provides a Feed Reader for Emacs. It retrieves headlines
from a list of news sites, processes them, and provides frontends for
reading and managing them. (Standard headline formats are RSS and Atom
which makes Newsticker an “RSS Reader”, “Atom Reader” or “Feed
Aggregator”.)
Headlines (or news items) consist of a title, (mostly) a description,
and a link to the full story. The description may be a brief summary in
plain text or a full HTML-formatted article. A headline may carry
enclosed data such as images, audio or video files, typically in the
case of so “podcast feeds”.
Newsticker downloads headlines asynchronously at configurable times,
processes and stores them so that you can read them later. The list of
subscribed feeds, the headline processing, the presentation of the
headlines and almost all other aspects of Newsticker can be customized
to your liking.
