Newsroom<\/strong>\u00a0is a simple, free open-source modern command-line tool to get your favorite news in Linux. It is developed using\u00a0JavaScript<\/strong>\u00a0(NodeJS<\/strong>\u00a0to be specific), so it is cross-platform and runs on Linux systems, Mac OSX as well as Windows.<\/p>\n

The default newsroom sources are: hackernews, techcrunch, inside, bnext, ithome, wanqu, nodeweekly, codetengu and gankio.
