Hi Bob:
I think you will find that most of the 'newswires' have moved from HF to 
satellites -- there just isn't as much news to copy as there used to be.
An alternative would be to look at the ship/shore frequencies where 
summaries, sports scores and stock quotes are often sent to passenger ships.
