If you've read ResourceShelf for even a short amount of time you know that we're big fans of NewsNow.co.uk. This news site culls material from close to 30,000 news sites and blogs. While the search is poor (only one word at a time unless you purchase their service), the pre-built "newsfeeds" are excellent for browsing and "keeping an eye on" throughout the day.
These pages, if left open in a browser window will automatically refresh every five minutes. All newsfeeds are listed in the left rail and look for new feeds when major stories are breaking around the world. Make sure to also note how each article has a flag to identify where the news source is coming from.
Today, we want to point out the U.S. Politics Newsfeed. It is an excellent one stop for U.S. political news. A must bookmark for the policy wonk, academic, news geek, or concerned citizen, anyone interested in U.S. politics.
Again, all of the pre-built Newsfeeds are listed in drop-down menus on the left side of the page. On a related note, here are a couple of other feeds that might be of interest. We will continue to feature NewsNow feeds in future posts.
