The ClariNet story categorization offers a luxury not afforded by print newspapers' sections. Readers get all relevant articles where they expect to see them - so a Silicon Valley reader might see a story about Apple Computer in the Techwire Apple news group, in the San Francisco Bay Area Business Group, and in front page newsgroup if the story were nationally relevant. Each reader can personalize their edition of ClariNews, selecting only the information they want to see, and then choose the order in which to read the stories. A financially oriented reader can get business news first, while a sports enthusiast can see the latest scores. If you're in the computer business, you might go right to the Apple newsgroup every day, but if you're in real estate, you probably want to check the Bay Area business group to see who might want to buy or sell real estate.
Readers can track single industries, or news subjects, or events in a particular field of study.
Selection goes as deep as the reader wants. You can scan headlines or read the full text of speeches. In fact, ClariNews provides readers with information before traditional newspapers. And ClariNews gives a reader more news than a broadcast news editor who may boil a whole story down to a sound byte or news capsule.
