Most of the people get the information about the world news through the internet, which is fast accessible and reliable.
People have no time to be updated through Newspaper or watching news in the television, so different web applications have introduced to provide news across the world.
English is a global language the most commonly spoken language in the world – used in every sector from business to social media, from sciences to the arts, from sports to international trades.
So most of the news applications from all over the world serve the live news to the users in English language only. Few applications serve the news from single source & websites are restricted to provide news in local language.
Information Overload: Users may be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, making it difficult to find relevant or important news amidst the noise.
Bias and Misinformation: The feed might promote biased content or misinformation, especially if algorithms prioritize sensational or polarizing news. Ensuring accurate and balanced reporting can be challenging.
Privacy Concerns: Collecting and analyzing user data to personalize feeds can raise privacy issues. Users may be uncomfortable with the extent of data collection and tracking.
Algorithmic Filtering: While algorithms can help in personalizing content, they might also lead to filter bubbles where users are only exposed to information that aligns with their existing beliefs, reducing exposure to diverse perspectives.
