About Headlines Flash

What Is This?

Headlines Flash is an automated news headline aggregator that generates short summaries from publicly available RSS feeds. The site is updated every 4 hours via a GitHub Actions workflow that fetches trending content from multiple sources.

Editorial Policy

We do not write original journalism. Each "headline flash" is a 2–3 sentence summary generated from the headline and snippet provided by the original publisher's RSS feed. We do not copy full articles, and every post includes a direct link to the original source.

If a headline does not have enough information for a factual summary, we mark it as "Developing story — details emerging" rather than fabricating details.

Sources

We aggregate from the following publicly accessible RSS feeds:

• Google Trends — Daily trending searches
• Reddit — Popular posts from r/worldnews, r/technology, r/business, r/science, r/sports
• Hacker News — Front page and best stories
• BBC News — World, Technology, Business
• NPR — News, Technology
• Al Jazeera — International news
• TechCrunch — Technology
• Ars Technica — Technology

Content Usage

We only use content that is freely available via public RSS feeds. We do not scrape paywalled sites, and we do not reproduce full articles. Our summaries are original compositions based on the headline and snippet provided in the RSS item.

Automated Generation

All content is automatically generated. There is no human editorial oversight for individual posts. Category assignments and tags are generated algorithmically based on keyword analysis.

Corrections

If you believe any content on this site is inaccurate or infringes on your rights, please open an issue on our GitHub repository.

Technology

Headlines Flash is built with Next.js, statically generated, and deployed on Vercel. The source code is publicly available on GitHub under an open-source license.
