I need to extract news items from several news sites.

Can you be more specific here? This is awfully broad.
I'll give an example:
Let's say I want to extract some news-items from the www.CNN.com web
page (If you visit CNN's page, you can see the 'MORE NEWS' block at the
right side).
I know how to extract the news-items (or any other data in the page)
using regular expressions, but I wonder if there are other ways. The
code I'm writing will be maintained by other people in the future, and
perhaps regular expressions won't be easy for them to update when the
site changes its format.
Can somebody please give me a short overview of the different ways of
extracting data from HTML?
I hope my question is clear enough now.
TIA.
