I've been just showing Newsrack.in to everyone I meet these days
-- journalist colleagues, NGO types, academics. They can't believe
how well it works. Great work coming from India. If I had a chance,
I would again push for a (bigger) prize for Subbu Sastry's work like
a year back ... using Newsrack pretty extensively!

I find this extremely useful in sourcing, daily news from at least a
dozen sources on a variety of topics of interest. It could be Bangalore,
Birds of Bangalore, BMIC, Dams, etc. etc. Anyone can go and create
their categories of interest and the only condition is that all your
research will be publicly available for everyone to benefit from.

We at Arghyam have been using the Newsrack RSS feeds on our websites
(http://www.indiawaterportal.org,
http://www.arghyam.org) to generate news
in the area of water. The India Water Portal is a comprehensive repository
of information and tools related to the area of water. We have found Newsrack
a very convenient tool to generate a timely topical news page, which enhances
the value of the portal. We've found the feeds to have a high degree of
relevance with essentially no maintenance required.
The news section on the India Water Portal which is generated entirely out
of feeds from NewsRack is: http://www.indiawaterportal.org/Network/News/
