    Hi Olga,
    Google News (news.google.com) performs grouping of different
    news articles relating to the same event, and can be used
    for constructing such a corpus.
    However, many of the articles will be duplicates, as different
    newspapers take over the same text from the press agencies.

    regards,

        Gregor
