Newsfeeds

RSS Feeds

RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) is an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on Pambazuka News. Instead of going to our website to see what's news, you can use RSS to let you know each time there's something new.

To use RSS you need to get hold of a program called a news reader which displays RSS information from your chosen sites on your computer. There are a number of these available. For Windows, you might consider Newz Crawler (http://www.newzcrawler.com/), Feed Demon (http://www.bradsoft.com/feeddemon/), Awasu (http://www.awasu.com/), or others that you'll find on the internet and for Mac OS X we recommend NetNewsWire (http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/).

To subscribe to Pambazuka Newsfeed, right click on one of the orange buttons, copy the link, and paste it into your newsreader subscription facility. Initially we are implementing the most widely used version of RSS (0.92). This enables us to provide you with a substantial excerpt from the newsletter and still maintain compatibility with all news readers. Over the coming months we will be implementing additional advanced versions.

You can get 2 kinds of RSS feeds from Pamabzuka News:
