What is RSS?
RSS is an easy way for you to keep updated automatically on websites you like. Instead of you having to go to websites to see if they've written a new article or feature, you can use RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndication) to get them to tell you every time they have something new.

The Journal Times now offers RSS feeds (or channels) for most of its sections, eg local news, sports, Probe, etc.

All you then have to do is choose which RSS feeds you want for instance, an RSS feed of all the latest local news from The Journal Times.
