Hometown News Being Fed Nationwide*
Daily newspapers in most of the places I've lived or worked have all jumped on the RSS bandwagon, including my former employer, "the nation's oldest continuously published newspaper," the Hartford Courant, as well as the Raleigh News & Observer, the Boston Globe -- and now my "current" local, the Knoxville News Sentinel.
(RSS or "Really Simple Syndication" means I can subscribe to an automatic feed of the paper's headlines. Here's my verbose old RSS background page, but these days each paper provides its own brief explanation. See the pages linked to the publication names.)
Here's an interesting twist for serious news-addicts or RSS evangelists: Those four papers just happen to be owned by different media conglomerates. Providing a new service like RSS may depend on corporate-level approval or multi-publication software decisions. I suspect that means there's a good chance RSS soon will be available throughout those chains.
