I'll keep the post brief this time!

I have added New York Times and Wall Street Journal magazines to the auto pull pipeline.

Occasionally, some of the links might be kind of janky due to using archive links but overall should be better than having to fuss with soft paywalls and login prompts.

Let me know if there are any other magazines you want me to set up!

Hi news readers,

Just a quick update for you all, I’ve already seen some of you have found the new magazines and have subscribed, thank you!

If you haven’t seen them yet, I added npr\_news, bbc\_news, and cnn\_news magazines. All of the content on those magazines are automatically pulled from those publishers every hour at the top of the hour. There will be a large influx of posts on there initially as it has to populate everything it finds but it should quickly match the pace that the journalists release articles. I believe all 3 magazines should be past that initial influx of posts.

Like I said in my last META post, I still intend to manually curate news links for this magazine but I wanted to provide you guys some dedicated magazines for these sources that get updated frequently.

I intend to add some more in the future, let me know if there are any specific requests for me to look at setting up. I’m hoping at some point we’ll be able to set up a multi-magazine that contains the posts from everything.

Links to communities: @news @npr\_news @bbc\_news @cnn\_news

P.S. it could also be cool to set up dedicated tech or gaming magazines that pulls content from various sources too

Hey @news subscribers, just wanted to let you know I'm still planning on throwing links I find interesting on this magazine still.

That being said, we have NEWS about the instance! (I know, I know, the pun sounded better in my head)

I'm starting to set up some content aggregate bots but I'm giving them their own dedicated magazines for people to subscribe to. The first one I have set up is @npr\_news All you have to do is subscribe to the magazine as per usual and the bot should populate the magazine with new news stories every 2 hours.

To start with, I only have the bot cross posting stuff from NPR's general news feed. I have a list of candidates I'm looking at for additional articles to pull in: Climate, Economy, National, Science, World, National Security, and Wages. I didn't want to enable all of those feeds at once and drown out the magazine so I'll slowly add one at a time in.

All of the posts will be tagged accordingly: [Article Name] - NPR [News Category] e.g.: The search intensifies for the missing submersible as underwater noises are detected - NPR [National]

I will likely spend some time adding AP News, NYT, and WSJ magazines with their own bots as well. Please let me know if there are any additional publications I should consider or if you have any feedback!
