    Search for wikipedia guys (or whatever) , It faster than ask us and wait for replying

    Overall is , You can fetch the news/contents from anysite by feeding RSS (Really Simple Syndication , Mostly formatted in .rss or .xml)

    For example. You want to show the news from CNN on your site
    Just go to http://www.cnn.com/services/rss/ , CNN has many categories of news. But you can just fetch the Title and Description , For full info there is a link to CNN

    Then find the RSS Reader and place it on your web (PHP , JS), Your site content will be update everytimes CNN updated it's RSS (Mostly Automatically when CNN update it's news on CNN.com).

    RSS feeds is, basically, a direct link that lists all the entries posted on a particular blog that you have RSS'ed. If you have a blog, others can RSS your blog, and everything you post would show up on their site or in their newsreader. Some use this as a way to get free "content" on their site (re: scraped content) while others use it to subscribe to a blog/site they read a lot, and have all the RSS feeds show up on one page (say, your Yahoo main page, or Google main page) so they know instantly which blog has updated, and can read the excerpts before going to the site to read the rest.
