| · What is a source? A source is a website that regularly publishes new press releases, news articles, opinions or documents. Our collection of sources is growing apace (currently about 600). New sources are selected and added on a daily basis. Once included in the collection, sources are checked continuously for new articles - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - and stored in the MyHeadlines database. Some, but by no means all, sources are included in dossiers. [ Back to Top ]

| · What is a dossier? For your convenience, we have selected some of our best sources and organized them in dossiers. Each dossier contains
sources on a particular topic. For instance, there is a dossier coined Development (Dev.).
In this dossier you will find sources that provide you with
general news about issues of international development assistance and
co-operation.
To stay abreast of the latest news in
this dossier, you do not need to subscribe to each individual source.
Instead, you subscribe to the free Development Newsletter that comes with this dossier. This newsletter provides you with just one daily e-mail update of all sources in the dossier.
