| NEWS PORTALS & SEARCH ENGINES |
General-purpose search engines and web directories aren't the best tools for searching for news. This isn't a criticism -- they simply aren't designed for the purpose. A much better way to find news on the web is to use a specialized news portal or search engine.
1st Headlines - News search engine that includes local, regional, national and international news sources.
Headline Spot - a news portal, sorted by media type, region, subject.
