Creating a News Package

A News Package is a subscription to a collection of third-party content sources offered by Siebel Content Services. Your organization may subscribe to several news packages in several different languages. For example, your organization may subscribe to general sources in French, English, or Spanish languages or to specific sources for your industry, such as Finance, High Technology, and Life Sciences.
