      @foggy - @sdetweil may be onto something. I jsut added your url to my config.js file and I now get the BBC just fine.

      I also wonder whether the "{ " and “}” brackets are required but missing in your feeds array? I have each feed url in its own brackets and it works for me. See my config below, modified to add your BBC url.

      @sdetweil - related question: In the[recent] past my system has always restarted Magic Mirror when i commit a change to config.js using control-O, but lately it doesn’t and I have to manually restart MM. Is this expected behavior?

      Here is the file MagicMirror/config/config.js now correctly displaying BBC news.

      {module: "newsfeed",
           disabled: false,
           tableClass: "small",
           position: "bottom_center",    // bottom_center bottom_bar
           config: {
           feeds: [
              { title: "New York Times", url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml" },
              { title: "BBC", url: "https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml"},
              { title: "Las Vegas Review Journal", url: "https://www.reviewjournal.com/feed/" },
              { title: "Detroit Metro Times", url: "https://www.metrotimes.com/detroit/Rss.xml" },
                 ],
                 reloadInterval: 600000, // Content fetch interval - 600000 = 10 minutes
                 updateInterval: 15000, //Display new headline interval - default = 10000 milliseconds / 10 seconds
                 showSourceTitle: true,
                 showPublishDate: true,
                 broadcastNewsFeeds: false,
                 broadcastNewsUpdates: false
                      } },

        this is provided by PM2 file change detection… it is inconsistent, and I haven’t found any reason… for me it has NEVER worked on pi, or linux… but used to ALWAYS work on mac… (but now doesn’t as well) …

        in my config to setup the MagicMirror app I use a json file that provides that configuration.

        I don’t see any change in the pm2 doc for this

        {
          "apps" : [{
            "name"        : "MagicMirror",
            "script"      : "/home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh",
            "watch"       : ["/home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js"]  <-----  I adjust this for user and path 
          }]
        }

          @JohnGalt remember he is running under lxc container
          Proxmox/#magicmirror-server-lxc

          so the files are NOT in exactly the same place… (they are linked into the container is the same logical place)

          Proxmox/#magicmirror-server-lxc

            @sdetweil - Thanks for both the update on the pm2 restart and on the reminder that the OP’s system structure is different.

            OK, back to newsfeed behavior…
