For the last several years I have been receiving Breaking News from CNN, not via RSS though, I get emails. It has been great to get updates throughout the day. I was able to obtain updates on the shooting at VA Tech and relay them to my daughter who was secured in a classroom on that campus during that time. To pick an RSS feed to monitor for the next seven weeks (or longer), I decided to get breaking news from WWBT12, our local NBC news station. Here’s the address to subscribe to the feed (http://www.nbc12.com/Global/category.asp?C=177464&nav=0RZF&clienttype=rss). Comes in as WAVE3.
One of the articles I read was about the Jefferson County Public School System in Kentucky suspending two elementary school principals over an opening day bus fiasco. Several hundred students were hours late getting home from school that 1st day. Some elementary school students did not get home until after 9pm. Ugh! I cannot imagine an elementary school student being on a bus for all those hours...and the poor parents. Apparently the issue resulted from the students not being placed on the proper bus.
I have been receiving the feed since Saturday and other than remembering to go into Google Reader, I enjoy the information. I was hoping the updates would be national, but so far it seems to primarily be local breaking headlines with an occasional national feed sneaking in. I like being kept abreast of current events, so for now, I will stay with the local feed and my CNN emails.
