Each entry also includes a flag icon to identify where a source is based.The company offers technology that aggregates news reports (for free) from thousands of global news source.

You’ll often find the identical underlying story from multiple sources. In other words, you’ll find the same AP report (each with a unique headline) from a number of news sites.
