If you've ever attempted to find current event information using a search
engine, you know what a frustrating and futile experience it can be. It
sometimes takes weeks for engines to catch up with content updates.
Fortunately, there are plenty of sites that offer up-to-the-minute news on today's hot topics.
We've broken out great sources by media type, topic and location.
