This week’s screencast is about using RSS for journalism and reporting.

We use Google Reader to demonstrate how RSS and RSS feed readers can be a powerful journalism tool. RSS feeds and feed readers can allow journalists to easily monitor a lot of disparate news sources. It’s much easier to use a tool like Google Reader to monitor information on the Web than it is to use Web browser bookmarks or to manually typing in URLs.

This video goes over:

• How to add find RSS feeds
• How to add RSS subscriptions to Reader
• How to use Reader’s more advanced features
• The power of searching within Reader
• And much more
