Are you wanting to do a news website for a local area? Or larger?

There are several sites that have sydicated news feeds. You should try a search for them.

Anyone have some more ideas?

Thanks for the tip, do you know what those sites are that can Feed me news?

To answer your question ,I wanted to do it on a local level , when stars come through town or at the rock hall.

Thanks.

I think there is a local organisation you can go to (some sort of local governement one I think) who can provide press passes. I think they cost quite a bit (several hundred dollars?) but you shouldn't have trouble getting them.

I'm sure I read this all online somewhere. Sorry I can't be more help!

I've looked into this with AP and Rueters and both are pretty spendy. It depends what you want from them. For instance, basic text for 2 stories a day from AP was $400 a month and went up into the thousands for pics and even more for if you wanted polls and such.
