Using RSS Feeds
RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is a convenient way to get news from your favorite American Public Media programs. An RSS feed contains headlines, summaries and links to full news stories. If you click an RSS link, you will see XML (or eXtensible Markup Language) code in your browser. This is to be expected, since you do not view RSS content through a browser. You view feeds through an RSS news reader (also called an RSS aggregator).
RSS news readers are software programs similar to Web browsers that aggregate RSS feeds and display their information. They allow you to read multiple sources from a single interface.
There are a wide variety of RSS readers available on the Internet. Some readers are Web-based while others require you to install a software program on your computer. Some are free to use.
Yahoo! and Google both offer comprehensive lists of RSS readers. A few sample readers are also offered below for the purpose of evaluation:
How do I use these feeds?
The first step, as described above, is to choose an RSS reader. Each reader has a slightly different way of adding a new feed (also called a "channel"). In most cases, you should copy one of the URLs from the above list into the 'Add New Channel' section of the reader. The RSS feed will start to display and regularly update the headlines for you.
How can I get help?
Because every RSS reader is different, we regret that we can't provide assistance to individual users. You may want to read NPR's RSS frequently asked questions page. If you think the problem might be with our feed itself, contact American Public Media at mail@americanpublicmedia.org.
