News Explorer is a pretty comprehensive news aggregation site created by the European Commission. It shows a number of aggregate views of recent news, including the obligatory geographic view. In addition, it mines the news data for relational information. For example, it can display the names of individuals in the news, relationships to other people and entities, etc. In this regard, it has many similarities with TextMap, though the later also provides subjectivity anlaysis.
