Strategis RSS News Feeds

Strategis Headlines offers RSS news feeds that include headlines or titles, summaries of the articles, and links to the full text documents.

The news feed URLs are highlighted in the description field below. Copy the news feed URL, then launch your news aggregator or news reader application and paste the news feed URL into an "add new feed" window. Detailed instructions on how to add news feeds are included in the news reader application. If you close your news reader, you will not be advised of updates until the next time you open the reader. Unlike e-mail subscriptions, you are not required to provide personal information or an e-mail address to benefit from news feeds.

Benefits of RSS
News is delivered weekly to your desktop's aggregator or feed reader rather than you having to visit each Web site to get the news. View news summaries before linking to the full news article. You don't have to give personal information, not even an e-mail address.

What is RSS?
Rich Site Summary (RSS) or as some refer to it, Real Simple Syndication, is an XML-based format for content distribution in real time. The Strategis feeds will include the date, title, summary and a link to the full news article. If after reading a summary you want to view the full text, simply link to the full text document found on the Headlines site.

News aggregators / News readers
RSS feeds can only be read by browser-like news aggregators or news reader applications. Feed readers give you the flexibility to set-up how often to check for new items in the RSS feeds that you subscribe to.
