What is News Gateway and why do I care?

News Gateway is a mobile app and news aggregator developed for the Android Operating System. The app works by pulling in news stories from the web through News API that provides news in the JSON format which is pulled in the standard News Gatway Format. Stories are opened in default browser. Stories are updated real-time, and you'll always find the latest stories when you either refresh or open the app.

So here comes the “News Gateway” 🎉.
