Sourcing your news from Wikipedia is a really smart idea. Looking at your site and the Current Events portal on Wikipedia I see some differences:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
How are you pulling your data? (there are 3 different Wikipedia APIs, with various levels of data).
I suggest you look at the the Features Content API (https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/featured/2022/06/28 https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/featured/2022/06/2...). This could be fun for you to use, since it also gives you a list of the most visited pages on Wikipedia in the previous 24 hours, which often surfaces interesting topics of current event.
Nice job on a cool project!
