I need a set of news headlines and articles to help me in a project on automatic summarization. Is there such a dataset or something similar?

The most widely used ones in text summarization research is the DUC dataset. If you see a paper using dataset "DUC 2015" or "DUC 2016" that's from here.
I have also personally used the Reuters arcihve. You just need to download each article with wget
or something similar. See also here.
The CNN / DailyMail dataset is also widely used in summarization especially in recent years, although it labels itself as a Q&A dataset.

$\begingroup$ How can you log in to get the DUC dataset? I can't figure out how I can register with my institution's email. $\endgroup$ Sep 12, 2018 at 9:55

$\begingroup$ The link in the answer has instructions about how to request access to the dataset. Why not read it? $\endgroup$ Sep 12, 2018 at 14:26
