What is RSS? RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is
an easy way to keep up with your favorite news and information.
An RSS feed contains headlines, summaries and links to full news
stories on npr.org or an NPR Member station websites. In many
browsers, 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 can view the headlines through an RSS news reader (also
called an RSS aggregator). Our main RSS page provides links to
our feeds, and you can find them elsewhere in the site where you
see the orange "rss" icon. What are RSS readers? Where can I get
an RSS reader? How do I use RSS feeds? Does my local NPR station
offer news feeds? How often are NPR RSS feeds updated?
