NewsNow: What publishers need to know about the UK-made news aggregator

By Freddy Mayhew

NewsNow is a website that aggregates content from various publishers, offering its users a constantly updating feed of breaking news headlines from 22 countries and pooling content by category and trending topics.

The service launched in 1998 in the UK with fewer than ten news sources, but today spans thousands of publications both big and small, national and regional. It remains independently owned and founder-led.

Newsnow.co.uk claims to receive 11m monthly unique users and drive 70m article views per month to publishers’ websites. It only shares headlines – no images or copy – and a publication byline. Users are taken to the publisher’s own website when they click on headlines, paywall or not.
