to me
Hi there,

The contract we have with Sydney Morning Herald has ended. For Australian national news on News****, you may refer to news.com.au.

We will strive to bring quality content into the app for our users.

Thanks.

News**** team

And with that, all the other regional NSW feeds disappeared, leaving the dreaded daily telegraph/news.com.au which also stands accused for phone hacking and exaggerating urban exploration among other things.

Firstly this is the app I will credit for giving S.P.Q.R., Leviathan and the Special K - three very good and clean abando complexes free from graffiti and vandals.

Will reveal the news app I am using later just in case their contract gets reinstate or add more besides news.com.au

In the meantime, has anyone got suggestions for news apps?

Why not use an XML feed reader? I use my own but there'd be many apps for sure.

What? No :-)
I'm just listing a free, open-source option to make other apps look better! Or something.

Yeah I've gone the open source route too.

But it's quite a hassle trying to add back the regional country papers one by one.

Well worth it. I just got news that a whole village somewhere in Oz is going to get demolished for some sort of industrial site. Only problem is trying to find the time to get there.
