Public Interactive & NPR Collaborate to Aid Station Use of NPR RSS Feeds
We are delighted to announce that Public Interactive and NPR have teamed up to simplify and facilitate station use of NPR RSS feeds.
Public Interactive plans to help client and NPR Member stations better use NPR RSS feeds by integrating them directly into key products, including Public Arts™, Public NewsRoom™, and Public Platform™. Now stations will be able to easily select their preferred NPR RSS feeds along with the other great content from sources including Reuters, BBC, PRI, and the New York Times Syndicate. While the NPR RSS feeds are now available to Member stations directly, this new partnership will make it much easier for PI stations to incorporate them into their sites.
