News

In computer science, „News“ typically refers to a system or service that disseminates information and updates on various topics, often in real-time. It can involve the aggregation and distribution of content from different sources, such as articles, blog posts, or other media formats. In the context of computer networks, „Usenet“ is historically significant, as it provided a decentralized way for users to post and read messages (called „news“) on various subjects.

In a web context, news feeds (such as RSS feeds) allow users to subscribe to updates from specific websites, enabling them to receive the latest information automatically. News aggregators are platforms that compile news articles from various sources, providing users with a consolidated view of current events. This term may also relate to the way information is curated, categorized, and presented to users in applications, including social media and content management systems where real-time updates are crucial.
