Does anyone know a search engine for news articles only?

I’m looking for a search engine just for news; kind of a Google News competitor but something independent. Any ideas?

I know of Ground News, it’s already pretty good though it’s less search engine and more aggregator. Open to hear more.

    Don't basically all search engines offer a "news" tab? I just checked Kagi and DuckDuckGo and they both have one. Kagi's results are obviously better, but DDG is still pretty usable.

      I’m wondering if anyone tried to just do a search engine for news, instead of generic ones that have news tabs.

        What would the difference be from a UX standpoint though?

        Main issue imho that you need AI to differentiate news from clickbait. Good AI and not LLM. Or editors that will do it manually.

    For a pretty penny, Lexis, ThompsonReuters, and bloomberg all offer this.

    If you are somewhat technically inclined there’s NewsAPI: https://newsapi.org/
