The modern reality, whose incessant development represents one of the main aspects, is characterized by a constant and decisively important evolution. To follow this growth and this progress, however, people need to stay up to date on the events, that took place and that happen, thus feeding their information need. In a world in which, anyway, the existing news are represented by an unquestionably high number, search for the correct and ideal ones, or simply for those that are close to the more expectated and desired, may constitute an absolutely considerable and not to be underestimated problem, considering that the obstacles that make arduous this task will be expanded more and more over time, due to the enrichment of the data at our disposal. A great help, in response to these concerns and uncertainties, is given by Information Retrieval, an exciting new interdisciplinary branch of computer science that deals with the management and the retrieval of the right information.
