The Reuters News Screener lets you treat the news as a sortable data set, helping you pinpoint stories of interest quickly. With a quick glance, the News Screener shows you over 100 of the latest headlines in a number of different categories.

Here's what you can do with the News Screener:

• Click on a headline to view the associated story
• Type text into the filter to focus on relevant stories
• Hover your mouse over a headline to see a synopsis
• Click on a category to focus only on stories in that category (click the category again to see all stories)
• Sort and reverse-sort columns by clicking on the column header

Filtering is done based on text in the synopsis, the headline, and the category name. The filter will find text within words, so "ate" will match not only the word "ate", but the words "state" and "elated."
