   I have read about a system (?prototype) developed at the
   MIT Media Lab, which extracts news of relevance to a 
   *particular* reader, and customizes it to the reader's
   preference, and presents it to her in a multimedia 
   electronic form.

A paper about this system can be found in the most recent proceedings of
Usenix:

Multimedia - For Now and the Future
USENIX Summer '91 Conference Proceedings -- June 10-14
Newspace: Mass Media and Personal Computing, Page 329-347
