Getting feed from news website on your forums

hi folks,
I am not sure of this is the right forum to ask this... but here is what i wanted to find out more abt.

I would like to get latest news articles from news websites as news feeds on my forums. I would like to pull news feeds from selected sites (reputable news websites) that contain specific words.

My question is

1. Is it possible to do this?
2. How will the news feeds/news articles show up on my forums?
3. Is there a mod that picks up feeds or fetches the feeds and dsiplays is accordingly?
4. Would I have to pay to websites for taking the news feed and displaying them on my forum?
5. Is there any drawback of whi whole process... like on forum s/w, members, database, etc, etc.
6. What are you personal opinion of such a feature?
7. is there any FAQ etc i can read to get more info?

I am very new to this newsfeed thingy.. and any help from members here will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Viks
