If your going to use feeds for any other purpose other than personal use you'll need to use a service like Moreover, All Headline News, Yellowbrix or News Knowledge.
All Headline News does have a plans that let you do what you want, I am not sure about the others,
They've also launched a very cool custom RSS feed service that allows any user to create their OWN keyworded RSS feed (they currently list 17,000 feeds available, but I believe the real number is unlimited).
Also, I believe the company is at Webmaster World this week, for those of you visiting. It might be good to go by the booth and speak with them about how to use their feeds, as well as PRWeb as an SEO resource (we've been using them for years).
Best,
ME

Not exactly what most people consider editorial news or journalism. There is a big differnce.</b></i>
ME: That's a very good point.
PRWeb (who is also syndicates their upper-end PR through PRNewswire) makes a point of differentiating between a Press Release, Public Relations content and News.
Though I find enough good content to view PRWeb's front page almost every day (and grab some RSS feeds for our blogs), I also find that REAL NEWS is actually limited by my preferences: I get into Business and technical content, while another is looking at sports scores.
So I absolutely agree with you in regards to journalistic content not being a major component to the newswires (though I find some serious and interesting content that IS relevent, leafing-edge and is missed by the news services until much later, when it becomes "newsworthy" or reaches some critical mass).
Your thoughts?
