Hi, am ready to help with this project. Am a professional developer with a 15 years experience in software development - Visual Studio 2008/2013, C#/.NET, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, VB.NET, Windows Phone 8/8.1, XML, SQL - SQL Server 2008/2012, Oracle, MySql; Delphi, JavaScript - ExtJs, jQuery. You can review my portfolio at https://www.freelancer.com/u/matejka.html. If you are happy with my profile am ready to have a chat about your project.
Regarding the app, I presume there is an API available to load the news, articles etc. Possibly I can imagine to download the content from the web and parse it, but definitely some kind of website owner approval will be needed.
Regards
Jiri Matejka
