Update on my Paper.li experiment: A few weeks ago, I set up an online newspaper called PR Nomad. This exercise was enabled by Paper.li, which allows users to select content sources that auto-generate a daily compilation of articles on a topic of interest.

I invite you to check it out here, and if you find it worthwhile, please consider subscribing, and sharing your opinions. Thanks.
