Newsboat is an RSS/Atom feed reader for the text console. It's an actively maintained fork of Newsbeuter.

A feed reader pulls updates directly from sites like blogs and news agencies, and lets you review them in a single interface. Many times, the feed includes the full text of the update, so you don't even need to start a web browser! You can learn more about feed readers on Wikipedia.
