Selective delivery of digitally encoded news content

News content is received from news feeds, sorted by content, and distributed to user nodes so that each user receives a custom compilation of news articles. This involves receiving to a news communication subscription system a plurality of news articles, each news article comprising digitally encoded news content, from at least one news feed, selecting and storing at least one of the news articles according to pre-determined system selection criteria, analyzing the news content of the at least one news article according to acquisition metrics associated with a pre-determined node, determining whether the news article meets a pre-determined threshold, preparing a news communication comprising the at least one news article, and sending the news communication to the pre-determined node.
