Newsweek magazine’s RSS feed “Top News” is a great way to get information and opinions on today’s current events.  The feed employs a variety of formats to present information.  For instance, some of the pieces are editorials, some are polls, and others are news articles.  I like the different formats because I can get both facts and opinions on a story in the same feed.  Almost any topic in today’s news that I would want to know more about is covered in the “Top News” feed.  I found stories about the presidential candidates, a widely covered topic, as well as current interest pieces about entertainment and social issues.  The feed publishes several stories a day, so the information is always up-to-date.  However, reading every piece from this feed would be impractical.  Instead, I scan the headlines for eye-catching titles and read only those that interest me.  Skimming through the headlines, I could look for news stories that related to me or looked interesting, so I would not have to read every single piece.  With such a variety of subjects, I can always find something worth reading.  I will keep “Top News” in my Reader as a way to keep in touch with the world and important events.
