This is from a message from Amy Gahran, who publishes the Contentious
weblog (used to be an e-newsletter). Besides a link to an interesting
discussion of the RSS situation, she's got a link to a discussion of
e-mail and journalists. Here's the explanation & URLs:
**********************
This morning, I'm featured in an ABCnews.com story on RSS feeds,
"Feeding the Need for News," by Paul Eng. It's a pretty decent overview
of the topic for people who haven't heard of RSS feeds before.
Full story, with article links:

OJR ON REPORTERS & E-MAIL: WHERE'S THE RSS?
- Oct. 28, 2003
http://blog.contentious.com/archives/000052.html
Journalists today depend on e-mail, but they are generally
overwhelmed by it, too. An Oct. 24, 2003 article in Online Journalism
Review, "The E-Mail Paradox: Bane and Boon for Journalists'
Productivity," describes how reporters today are using and misusing
e-mail and other types of online communications.
This article is generally pretty good, except for one conspicuous
omission: RSS feeds are not mentioned. Well, they should be! RSS can be
a valuable tool for journalists who are drowning in e-mail.

Amy also has a link on her homepage to her own explanation of RSS:
