What about using an RSS reader? Or looking at AFP or Reuters news streams?

I oversee some digital signage that uses RSS to add the day's news.

We have two issues: there are fewer and fewer sources of RSS; and those that do exist frequently use meaningless titles like "Look at this!".

I can't really blame the news channels, they don't get any revenue from these streams.

Thanks. I didn't know this. Last time I used RSS it was a long time ago (in Google Reader) and at that time it was useful.
