Study: RSS Feeds Lacking for Breaking News

The International Center for Media and the Public Agenda, a center of the Merill College, released a study today on the effectiveness of Real Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds to read about the latest and breaking news.

The study found that the RSS feeds provided by most news outlets work very poorly for anyone who uses news as more than an entertainment medium or for more than an alert when a major event has occured.

Read the full study here.
