Newsreader (Usenet)

A newsreader is a software application that reads articles on Usenet distributed throughout newsgroups.^[1] Newsreaders act as clients which connect to a news server, via the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP), to download articles and post new articles.^[2] In addition to text-based articles, Usenet is also used to distribute binary files, generally in dedicated "binaries" newsgroups.

The term newsreader is sometimes (erroneously) used interchangeably with news aggregator.^{[citation needed]}

Newsreaders that help users to adhere to the established conventions of Usenet, known as netiquette, are evaluated by the Good Netkeeping Seal of Approval (GNKSA).
