About World News
Live headlines from around the world, in one place.
What this site is
World News is a headline aggregator. It collects the public headlines and short summaries that news outlets publish in their own RSS feeds, groups the same story reported by several outlets, and sorts it by region and topic. Every story links to the original article on the publisher's website. We do not copy articles. By default the pictures on cards are original illustrations generated on the page from each headline. If you switch the "Images" button to Photos, your browser loads each story's lead image directly from the publisher's own website; we do not store or host those photos.
All headlines, summaries and article content belong to their respective publishers.
How stories are chosen
Region and topic labels, "Breaking", "Top stories" and "Good news" are assigned automatically from the headline text and the number of outlets covering a story. They can be wrong. Automatic labelling is not editorial judgement.

Privacy
- No accounts, no advertising, no tracking cookies and no third-party analytics scripts. The site keeps an anonymous visitor count (daily totals, referring site, and the visitor's country, device type and browser type). Country is derived from the IP address at the moment of the visit using the free IP Geolocation by DB-IP; the IP address itself is never stored.
- Your theme, saved stories, watchlist keywords and weather city are stored only in your own browser (local storage). They are never sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes them.
- Country pages and the country list show flag images that your browser loads from flagcdn.com, which therefore sees your IP address like any image host would.
- Breaking-news alerts are optional browser notifications. They run in your own browser while the page is open; nothing about them is sent to us. Your language, theme, saved stories and alert choice are stored only in your browser.
- Weather: if you allow it, your browser's approximate location is sent directly from your browser to Open-Meteo to get a forecast, and the same applies to a city name you type. We do not receive or store it.
- Like any web server, ours keeps technical logs (IP address, time, page requested) for a short period for security and troubleshooting.
