This would include all online newspapers, magazines, broadcasting services as well as institutions which issue press releases and wire services such as Associate Press - supporter's sites - and personal blogs. It would allow for parsing to HTML headlines from sites that do not have feeds. It would be for English language feeds but expandable to others.
