RSS Feed

For my RSS Feed I chose NPR. NPR’s mission statement pretty much sums up my reasoning for picking this source. Their mission statement is:

“The mission of NPR is to work in partnership with member stations to create a more informed public — one challenged and invigorated by a deeper understanding and appreciation of events, ideas and cultures. To accomplish our mission, we produce, acquire, and distribute programming that meets the highest standards of public service in journalism and cultural expression; we represent our members in matters of their mutual interest; and we provide satellite interconnection for the entire public radio system.”

I wanted to pick a reputable and proven source that would bring me information with a global perspective. I appreciate the diversity of their programming. I also appreciate that NPR holds their journalists to high ethical standards and practices ensuring that we are brought the news in a credible, honest, and impartial fashion.

NPR offers several RSS feeds to subscribe to. They are broken into categories of News Feeds, Program Feeds, and Individual Feeds. I am currently working in the Health Care field, so I chose some feeds that are related to my current job, as well as feeds that would relate to this class. I also subscribed to feeds that I just found interesting and stimulating. The feeds that I have subscribed to are: education, race, science, children’s health, health, health care, religion, and digital culture.
