In this paper we present NewsInEssence, a fully deployed digital news system. A user selects a current news story of interest which is used as a seed article by NewsInEssence to find in real time other related stories from a large number of news sources. The output is a single document summary presenting the most salient information gleaned from the different sources. We discuss the algorithm used by NewsInEssence, module interoperability, and conclude the paper with a number of empirical analyses.
