RSS.
The BBC (for example) have RSS feeds, and most journal sites offer them too.
See:
http://backend.userland.com/rss
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Internet/Site_Management/Content_Management/Content_Providers/
Competing formats (eg Echo) aren't so common, so unless you're planning to
interface with a specific provider RSS parsing offers maximum return for
minimum implementation effort.
