ConsumersUnion.org offers you a simple and convenient way to stay informed of the latest consumer news, through the use of RSS feeds.

What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (also sometimes called Rich Site Summary or RDF Site Summary). It is a format for sharing content - such as headlines, news investigations, research reports and special announcements - from Web sites to readers. Instead of searching online or visiting several Web sites for various news headlines and updates, you can receive RSS feeds from multiple sites at once. News sites and Weblogs, or blogs, commonly use RSS feeds to capture and share information from many sites.

How do I set up a Consumers Union RSS feed?
Consumers, Web publishers, journalists and others who are interested in staying on top of CU's news and research investigations will want to set up and follow an RSS feed from this site. To do this, you will need to:

  1. Download and install an RSS newsreader or aggregator, such as FeedReader, Headline Viewer, or another. Here is a list of popular RSS Readers.
  2. Add Consumers Union to your list of feeds, by clicking on one of the orange XML boxes below.
