NITF is a format for textual news stories; it complements NewsML, which describes packaging and metadata. NITF borrows large parts of its structure from HTML, but adds additional element types for marking up news-specific content. Several major news providers, including the New York Times and the Associated Press, either use or intend to use NITF for their news feeds.
