Go over to MacOrchard.com and you will find many newsreaders for 
the Mac listed.

MT-Newswatcher is what I use, but there are a lot of people that 
like other readers.

Some google searching of the comp.sys.mac.system news group will 
turn up several discussions on news readers.  They show up ever 
few weeks with people asking the same question.
