  • Patent number: 9965774
    Abstract: A digital magazine server creates cover pages identifying relevant content items relevant to a user. Candidate feeds of content items are identified from various sources, with clusters of content items generated from content items included in various candidate feeds. Content items in various clusters are scored, and one or more content items are selected from each cluster. The selected content items are placed in a consolidated feed, which is used to create a cover page for viewing by a user of the digital magazine server. One or more advertisements may be included in a candidate feed, with the digital magazine server specifying a position within the cover page in which a content item associated with a candidate feed including an advertisement is presented.
