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.

NewsCenter - links to wire services and multiple media resources.
