The registry
66 sources, chosen deliberately
Every feed below was validated live (a working endpoint, real XML, fresh content) before earning a place. 32 survived the audit of the original collection; the rest were added so world news, science, security, and business are covered by outlets of record. Dead links, stale blogs, and anonymous accounts did not make the cut.
Notably absent: Reuters and the Associated Press retired their public RSS feeds. Their wire reporting still arrives here through BBC, NPR, and Guardian syndication.
