How do your news/politics youtubers get their news early? I know there are print outlets and websites but how are they notified so quickly? They seem to able to put out news very quickly.

Well YouTubers like news and gaming ones are very competitive in getting content out quickly since if you get it out first there’s a higher chance more people will watch it. So generally they would be following the news very tightly and try to rush a video together as soon as they get some information. They would probably just look for anything that gives them information and if they know something would be coming up they would pay attention wnd just find whatever they can.
Many news websites have RSS feeds.
RSS feeds are basically huge text files on the news (or any other) website, with all the news in reverse chronological order. Every time they publish something new, the RSS feed gets automatically updated. There are tools that allow you to track those RSS feeds, and basically get an update every time something new comes up, possibly filtered by topic. You can also monitor multiple websites at once.
It’s something anyone can do, often for free.
Examples:
[CNN](https://edition.cnn.com/services/rss/)
[NYT](https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/index.html)
[Google News](https://news.google.com/rss?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US:en)
I used to write for a website and the companies would contact us directly with upcoming news but there would be an embargo on it. We could prepare as much as we wanted but couldn’t post it until the embargo was over, meaning we could get it uploaded pretty quickly once allowed
Edit – spelling
