Media Centre - RSS Feed

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.

Choose Your News

The Prime Minister's Web site offers you numerous RSS news feeds. Each news item includes the headline or title, a summary of the news article and a link to the full text document found on the site.

Instructions on adding a news feed to your News Reader or aggregator

• Using your mouse right click on the XML orange graphic.
• In the Microsoft IE browser "Copy Shortcut" and in Netscape and Firefox browsers "Copy Link Location" from the pop-up menu that appears.
• 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 that you choose.
• When news items are published by the Prime Minister's Office, your news reader/aggregator will let you know through a small pop-up window or other alert device. If you close your news reader/aggregator, you will not be advised of updates until the next time you open it.
• If after reading a summary you want to view the full text, simply link to the full text document found on the Web site.
• Unlike e-mail subscriptions, you are not required to provide personal information or an e-mail address to benefit from receiving news from the Prime Minister's site.
