Skip to main content
Every variant of WorldMonitor ships a set of content-stream panels — regional news, topical news, tech / startup feeds, commodity news, and happy-variant feel-good streams. They share a common panel framework: ranked headlines, source attribution, activity tracking, and Cmd+K / custom-monitor highlighting. This page is the collective reference so the per-panel behaviour is findable without writing one page per feed. Every panel name in the tables below is also registered in at least one *_PANELS block in src/config/panels.ts. When you open a panel and the content is empty, check Data Sources and the global health endpoint for the underlying feed’s status.

Regional news

Regional panels scope the world to one macro-region’s news stream, with language coverage and source curation optimised for that region. They share the regional news family in the geopolitical variant and appear in the Cmd+K “News” group.

Topical news

Topic-scoped news feeds — each panel is the canonical news view for its domain. Topical panels are usually paired with the matching intelligence / data panel (e.g. Crypto News next to Crypto Sectors).
