## Overview

DigitalNews is a React news-browsing app: readers choose a headline category, the app requests paginated top headlines from NewsAPI, and displays article cards with links to the original stories. The sampled source supports the route, fetch, scroll-pagination, and card-rendering flow. Other runtime styling and assets are present in the tree but are not needed to explain this workflow.

Main entry points: [`news-app/src/components/NewsComponent.jsx`](https://github.com/syedibad12/digitalnews/blob/main/news-app/src/components/NewsComponent.jsx) (News controller), [`news-app/src/App.jsx`](https://github.com/syedibad12/digitalnews/blob/main/news-app/src/App.jsx) (App routes), [`news-app/src/components/NavBar.jsx`](https://github.com/syedibad12/digitalnews/blob/main/news-app/src/components/NavBar.jsx) (Category links), [`news-app/src/components/NewsItems.jsx`](https://github.com/syedibad12/digitalnews/blob/main/news-app/src/components/NewsItems.jsx) (Article cards)
