ABSTRACT

As world’s technology is rapidly growing we has fast connection and network to instantly
connect to other person. Day to day use in mobile, tablets and laptop is increasing, most of the
people already have this facilities. In this fast and information oriented world we need to stay
updated with every incidents and news too. This News app is android mobile application where
user have access to latest news from 120+ newspapers from 50+ countries. The main focus of
this application is to connect news articles from all around the world and deliver it to user as
fast as possible in best visualize way. In the present era, the internet and new technologies are
changing the information behavior of news reader. Instead of reading a copy of the local
newspaper or watching the scheduled evening news, people increasingly turn to the internet for
daily news updates. A news feed application is aimed at developing a mobile application named
News Bay. This Application deals with the user who wants to read news from their mobile
phones. User can select different categories in which a user is interested; the latest news will
be fetched from the selected categories.

The Live News Application is an innovative mobile and web platform designed to deliver real-
time news updates to users on a variety of topics, including politics, sports, entertainment,
technology, and global events. The app uses advanced algorithms to curate news content based
on user preferences, geographic location, and trending topics, ensuring a personalized and
dynamic news experience. By leveraging push notifications, users are kept informed of
breaking news as it happens, while a built-in search function allows for easy access to past
stories. The application integrates with multiple news sources and media outlets, ensuring
diversity and credibility in the news provided. Users can bookmark stories, share them on social
media, and even participate in live discussions through comment sections or forums within the
app. Additionally, features like offline reading, dark mode, and adjustable text size cater to user
accessibility and convenience.This project aims to enhance the way people access and interact
with news, empowering them to stay informed and engaged with the world in real time. It
emphasizes speed, reliability, and user-centric design, combining modern technologies like
cloud-based content delivery, machine learning for personalized content curation, and real-time
data streaming. The result is a seamless, informative, and engaging live news experience.

 INTRODUCTION ABOUT PROJECT

In today’s fast-paced world, staying updated with real-time information is essential. News is
constantly evolving, and timely access to breaking stories can significantly impact individuals
and communities. Traditional news delivery methods—such as newspapers and television
broadcasts—are often limited in terms of immediacy and personalization. With the rise of
smartphones and the increasing use of digital platforms, there is an increasing demand for
instant and personalized news updates.

In this project we created a mobile News feed application. With the use of API called newsAPI,
we will be bringing news from all around the world into the app. The news will be fetched and
displayed based on the country selected & the news is categorized into different categories. A
user can select any category which they are looking for. When the user is done selecting the
category, then the page will automatically refresh and the news will be displayed on the news
feed application. This application goes beyond just delivering news; it creates a personalized
news experience by utilizing advanced algorithms that curate content based on user
preferences, location, and browsing behavior. By integrating multiple news sources and
offering real-time push notifications, the app aims to keep users informed instantly about
critical events, helping them to stay ahead of the curve.

This project aims to create an innovative, user-centric platform that enhances how individuals
interact with news and information, making news more accessible, engaging, and relevant in
the digital age. Through this Live News Application, we hope to bridge the gap between
consumers and the rapidly changing world of current events, ensuring that everyone can stay
connected to the pulse of global happenings. Android provides simple application structure and
requires Java and Mark-up languages knowledge to work with. Such as, an discrete movement
delivers a solitary screen for a user interface and a service whole completes work in the
contextual . We can work on different module separately and can combine at the end, we can
also add future modules easily afterwards.

 News Feed Application-Rapid View

 LITERATURE SURVEY

A literature survey for a live news application project involves reviewing existing research and
studies related to news applications, mobile technology, and user behavior. Key research areas
include news consumption patterns, mobile news application design, user experience,
personalization, news aggregation, social media integration, push notifications, mobile
advertising, news analytics, and privacy/security concerns.

To conduct the survey, consider exploring academic journals such as the Journal of
Broadcasting & Electronic Media, Journal of Communication, Computers in Human Behavior,
and Mobile Media & Communication. Industry reports from Pew Research Center, Reuters
Institute for the Study of Journalism, and Comscore also provide valuable insights. Online
resources like news industry blogs and tech-focused websites are additional sources.

Some guiding questions for the literature survey include: How do users consume news on
mobile devices? What features are essential for a live news application? How can news
applications personalize content? What are effective strategies for news recommendation
systems? What are the challenges and opportunities in mobile news application development?

When searching for literature, use queries like "mobile news application design," "news
personalization techniques," "user experience in mobile news applications," and "emerging
trends in live news applications." Organize the survey into sections covering introduction,
background, news consumption patterns, mobile news application design, personalization, user
experience, push notifications, mobile advertising, news analytics, privacy/security concerns,
conclusion, and future directions. By conducting a comprehensive literature survey, you'll
gather valuable insights to inform the development of your live news application project.

During analysis, identify patterns, themes, and trends, comparing and contrasting findings
while evaluating methodological strengths and limitations. Utilize tools like mind mapping,
thematic analysis, and data visualization to synthesize information.Best practices dictate a
systematic and comprehensive search, clear inclusion/exclusion criteria, critical evaluation of
sources, transparent documentation, and regular updates. By following this structured
approach, you'll conduct a thorough literature survey that enhances your live news application
project.

Additionally, consider exploring emerging trends and technologies, such as artificial

intelligence, machine learning, and augmented reality, and their potential applications in live
news. Investigate user engagement strategies, news aggregation techniques, and the impact of
social media on news consumption.

By integrating these insights into your literature survey, you'll develop a comprehensive
understanding of the current landscape and future directions for live news applications,
ultimately informing the design and development of a successful and user-centric application.
