RSS Feeds

The Economist online offers a wide range of RSS feeds covering politics, economics, business, science and technology. All feeds are partial text, which means headlines and extracts from articles will be displayed in your RSS reader along with links to the full versions on The Economist online.

To subscribe to a feed, copy-and-paste the orange RSS icon RSS into your RSS reader. My Yahoo! users should drag-and-drop the My Yahoo! RSS icon onto their home-page. Our audio feed can also be subscribed to on iTunes.

About RSS feeds

What are RSS feeds?

RSS feeds offer an easy way of browsing new content from many different websites in one place. To use RSS (which variously stands for Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary), you need something called an RSS reader. The reader aggregates the feeds to which you subscribe, in most cases displaying content in an abbreviated form with a link to the full text or audio/video file.

How do I get RSS feeds?

There are many different ways of viewing and managing RSS feeds. Newer versions of some web browsers—such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Apple's Safari have simple RSS readers built into them. Alternatively, you can download and install a standalone RSS reader or sign up to a web-based service. Google has a list of RSS readers—both standalone and web-based—for Windows, Mac and other operating systems. Once you've picked an RSS reader, you'll need to choose some RSS feeds. Look out for the RSS icons RSS and RSS, which indicate the presence of an RSS feed.
