RRT RSS Web Feed (Really Simple Syndication)

RSS Web Feeds allow you to stay in touch with many different sources of news and information. Using RSS is quicker than revisiting many sites several times a day to check for updates - rather than having to look for new headlines, feed readers scan for updates and display them for you.

Put the address (as it appears in your browser) of our web feed document into your feed reader, and it will display the latest headlines, each one with a synopsis and link that will take you to the full story.

Q. How can I use RSS web feeds?

To view our RSS web feed you need software called a feed reader or aggregator. These display RSS information feeds from your chosen websites.

Once you have installed a feed reader, all you then have to do is choose RSS web feeds you want to receive (from those sites which provide them). You can add our RSS web feed by clicking on the web feed link below.

Setting up a feed differs from one aggregator to another, but it usually involves copying the URL of the feed (from the address bar on your browser) and pasting it into the reader.
