RSS News

Hi, within our community we have developed a news service (www.agroads.com.ar/noticias/) where we had about 30 sourcesrss.

News grouped into categories and generate an internal link to see the details (and also a link to see the full story in the appropriate media).

It is our first experience with a news site and wanted to know:
1. We keep track of all news from all media? (would be creating agreat sitemap in the future:)
2. We must clarify in the sitemap that are sources of news?
3. Google may consider it duplicate content?
4. We're taking data from different source types (html, video andpodcast), we must differentiate this content to index?

Any other suggestions would be welcome.
Greetings!
Robert

First of all, good luck with your new website!  Now onto your questions:

1. I wouldn't suggest taking on every imaginable category of news, instead I would focus on one topic.
2. Your sitemap should only links to pages on your website, however the pages should (and most likely must) present the source of the original news article.
3. Yes.
4. For text a regular sitemap will work, for video check out video sitemaps, and I am not too sure about podcasts, maybe someone else will be able to chime in on that.
