I use RSS feeds to access news headlines from various news sites. Is there a world news site written in Esperanto seriously? If not, there really should be. Journalists control how people see things in various languages. People compete now to have English versions of their main language news site. I would like the feed to one.

I think it would be a great idea to have news sites in Esperanto that featured both original news in Esperanto and translations.
If people from all over the world translated articles from their local newspapers it would provide a invaluable resource.

Such page already exists: http://www.eventeo.net/web/, but the newest "news" there is from october 2011. It certainly needs to be popularized...

China has several news sites in Esperanto that are updated on a daily basis.

China Radio International is one of them, for example.

If you can tease the news away from the propaganda, it's actually not a bad site to visit.

Just don't expect to see a lot of stories about riots in Tibet when there are riots in Tibet. When precisely that was happening a few years ago, there WERE plenty of stories about Tibet: about how happy the Tibetans were to be part of China, about how well the Chinese and the Tibetans get along, and so on. Riots? What riots? There are no riots here!

So, you know, take it with a grain of salt. But it makes for interesting reading.

There's an Esperanto version of Wikinews, if that interests you, although, it doesn't seem to be updated very frequently.

Yeah, plus the Chinese news is heavy on information about party officials visiting places, and telling you about what they saw. So if you want to know about that stuff, that's an excellent source.

There is a version of Le monde diplomatique in Esperanto. There's also an Esperanto radio service from Vatican Radio.

There have been a couple of attempts at doing a world news site in Esperanto but nothing has really gotten very far. I think that most people are happy to read that news in their native language, and to read mainly just Esperanto news (like at Libera folio)

Also there's Nunonia, which seems to be up to date thus far.

I think people would actually be happy to read the news in Esperanto, if they could get up-to-date and regular articles. The main problem is that a true news service in Esperanto would require people doing this professionally, but this hasn't been possible so far...

Attempts at providing current news in Esperanto have so far relied on volunteers, and I think these kinds of things are always going to fail after a while - it's an extremely tough commitment to make, to try and produce regular news articles, even if they are translations.

Yes, you can try and increase the number of volunteers to spread the load, but ultimately you need at least a full-time editor to check and organise everything, filter out the people that are hopeless at writing in Esperanto etc.

The best thing we have so far is the translated version of Le Monde Diplomatique - they seem to have a good team of competent Esperanto speakers and they regularly translate a few article each week. I find it very interesting to read them - and I would certainly read more news in Esperanto, if it was available. It's interesting to get different perspectives on things, and Esperanto is the perfect language for this.

The problem is that Esperantist's most likely wouldn't be willing to pay. If we had a market share, even a small one. I think we would have more of these "sites"

People are willing to pay for something if they can't find a better version for free.

People can find, in their native languages, better quality news than they could pay for in Esperanto. So why pay? I wouldn't.
