There was such a service a few short Internet years ago - now dead and

buried. You could set your search parameters for any topic.  The only
thing 
I know of now would be the wire services and they don't tell you what
is 
written - just what the service is sending out.  Daily is far too short
for 
any search engine to index material from a variety of sources. They are

just not that fast.

I think Nexus Lexus does something like this but not on a daily email
basis 
- you'd have to check with them for cost (high) for an individual 
subscriber.  Check you local library.  Sometimes the library has
resource 
databases that they can let you use.

You "could" set up your own by using a meta search engine such as
x-portal 
and configuring the search parameters to include the sites of
newspapers 
you wanted to search. It would be time consuming but you could 
theoretically do so given the limits of the software to only include so

many search sites.

You might also try a few relevant search terms on google, i.e. "daily
news 
service" etc. etc. on a variety of terms to see if there is something
that 
will come close to what you want.  You'll have to do a lot of sorting 
because when I went over there to try it, I got a LOT of responses to
two 
different searches. ;-)

Having said that - I don't know of such a search engine service which
is 
why I didn't respond to the original request.

In Eastern Ontario, Canada where it is raining instead of snowing.  The

bright side of this is that you don't have to shovel rain.  Are you 
listening Jeff of the Northwoods? :-)
