Why are some stories grouped?
News doesn't live on one site. The same Oscars announcement might be covered by ten outlets in the same hour. Rather than showing you ten near-identical articles, FeedBagel notices when publishers are covering the same event and puts them on one page.
What is "Other coverage"?
It's a roll-call of the other publishers covering the same story. You'll see it underneath the headline on a story page. Click any of them to read that publisher's version directly.
Different outlets bring different angles, so this is a quick way to cross-reference: who else picked up this story, what did they emphasise, who has a deeper take.
How do you know it's the same story?
FeedBagel reads each new article's title and summary and compares it against other articles that came in around the same time. When it sees clear overlap (same people, same event, same framing) it groups them. We use plenty of guardrails so unrelated stories with similar wording don't get clustered together.
What is the summary at the top of a story?
The summary, which we obviously call "the schmear," is a plain-English overview of what every covering publisher is reporting. It's not from any single outlet's house style; it's a brief synthesis so you can get the gist without clicking ten tabs.
Where does the summary come from?
- It's assembled by FeedBagel automatically from the publishers covering the story.
- It updates as more publishers weigh in. New angle? Schmear gets re-spread.
- The real reporting underneath is always the publisher's original work. Click through to read in full.
Will FeedBagel rewrite or republish articles?
No. We don't rewrite, republish, or reformat publisher content. The summary at the top is a navigational aid; the actual articles stay on the publishers' own sites. We point you at the source and stay out of the way.
