Hello!

Are you talking about something like Google News. Google News uses,
what it cals, 'grouping technology' to classify and group similar news
items.
What kind of references are  you looking for? Programming?

yes, most News web sites are short of automated process, they need to
invoke human effort to classify or select their News in the news page.
Therefore, I want to make research on built to solve these problems,
and it can fetch News data, classifies and clusters News content
automatically. Our system will reduce the human effort invoked and
increase the efficiency of the process from getting the News to
showing the result.
In this thesis, I will utilize the HTML format to make the result of
the
classification more accurate. And define the similarity between
documents, and  use the k-means algorithm to make the cluster process
more efficient.

I am looking for some paper about this topic, dont need any
programming...

By "news," do you mean current events?  Or do you mean Usenet posts
distributed using NNTP?
