I wondered if you could help me. I am currently in my final year of University and I am currently drawing up ideas for my dissertation. I am looking to do some work with the BBC news feeds. At the moment I can receive the feeds and get the headline and brief description of the story. Is there a way in which I could go on and retrieve the whole news story for that particular feed so it can be presented in an application? Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
