As checking out several online magazines becomes your daily tasks, why don’t you do it in a different way?
Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. This tool divides information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.
Just click on the country you want to read about, Newsmap will show you the top headlines, biggest news. All you have to do is choosing one of those and it links you to Google News.
You can see how the news is categorized. The biggest news will always be on the top left corner inside each category, the smallest one on the bottom right. The placement of all categories and countries follow the same principle, when the sum of related articles for one story inside each country/category is the greatest, it will be shifted to the top left corner, the smallest ones shift to the bottom right.
