Engage with Industry

• News and curation tools

  In a media-saturated age it is easy to be consumed by the most popular stories and information promoted by your closest contacts. To break out of your bubble and find out what is going on in your industry, try out some news curation tools. 

  
  

  RSS Feeds and Social Media Curation

  RSS enables you to subscribe to a number of different sites and get those sites to display new information in one place, so that you don't have to visit each site separately. You could set up feeds from the blogs of industry experts, trade magazines and news outlets. All the latest stories and information will be published for you in one place. Many apps bring together website content and social medial content in one place.

  
  

  Popular feeds for websites and social media include feedly.com and inoreader.com.
  

  To curate content and stories shared via social media, try flipboard.com or paper.li

  Alternatively, search your app store for RSS or curation tools.
