A live news feed is a strip that displays headline stories for a news organization and updates in real time. It is often displayed on the bottom of a website. Some news sites may also include other tickers, such as a stock ticker for financial news or a crypto ticker if they cover cryptocurrency.
Social media websites such as Facebook and Linkedin use a similar model called a News Feed. It broadcasts every interaction you make on the site to all of your friends and followers in a perpetually updating stream. This includes when you tag a friend in a photo, like a page, share a post, or comment on a story. It even includes interactions that used to appear in the Highlights section such as when a friend posts a status update, uploads a photo, makes a new connection, or joins a group.
Adding a live news feed to your website is an easy way to keep your visitors up to date on breaking news. It can also draw more traffic to your site and boost your statistics.
Newsworthy content should be impactful, relevant to your audience, and potentially surprising or novel. It should answer the key questions of who, what, when, where, why, and how. It should also be clearly written, with a clear structure and flow. Adding a human element to the story, such as anecdotes or quotes from people affected by the event, can add interest and increase reader engagement.
