About

A River of News answers one question: what just came in?

It is a plain list of news headlines from many publishers, newest first, grouped by day and stamped with the time. You can filter by category. You can jump to a date and hour. You can follow a category by RSS or JSON Feed.

How to use it

• Read down the list. Click a headline to go to the publisher.
• Use the category links at the top, or press a number key. Press 0 for everything.
• Search headlines with the box at the top, or press /. Results are newest first and cover the archive back to 2026-09-06.
• Follow an author, a publication, a keyword or a search with the Follow button. Your following page merges them. The list stays in your browser.
• Read the daily digest, see which publications report first, or show headlines on your own site with the embed or the API.
• Click an author's name to see every article we hold from them, or browse authors.
• Press j and k to move between rows and o to open the one you are on.
• When new items arrive a small button appears at the top. Click it to add them. The page never moves on its own.
• If you have visited before, a line marks where you left off.
• Every day with data has a permanent page with a few key facts and the full list by category. See the archive.

See the methodology. In short: publishers' public feeds, headline and link only.
