The command newsticker-show-news will display all available headlines. It will also start the asynchronous download of headlines.

You can choose between two different frontends for reading headlines:

• Newsticker's treeview uses separate windows for the feeds (in tree form), a list of headlines for the current feed, and the content of the current headline. Feeds can be placed into groups which itself can be placed in groups and so on.
• Newsticker's plainview displays all headlines in a single buffer, called ‘*newsticker*’. The modeline in the ‘*newsticker*’ buffer informs whenever new headlines have arrived.

The scrolling, or flashing of headlines in the echo area, can be started with the command newsticker-start-ticker. It can be stopped with newsticker-stop-ticker.

If you just want to start the periodic download of headlines use the command newsticker-start. Calling newsticker-stop will stop the periodic download, but will call newsticker-stop-ticker as well.
