About RSS

Subscribe to our media releases and/or Tourism Tasmania's tourism industry news.

When you subscribe to an RSS feed, news and updates are automatically delivered to you the moment they are published.

RSS is built into the newest versions of Internet Explorer 7.0 and above and Mozilla Firefox - simply click on the orange RSS button on this page. You will then be asked where you would like the email notifications sent.

If you’re using an older browser, you’ll need to download an RSS Reader or an RSS web module, however the easiest way is to upgrade your browser to IE 7 or above, or the latest version of Thunderbird.

Next, copy the URL from the address bar and paste it in the appropriate field.

A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include:

• FeedReader (Windows)

There are also a number of web-based RSS feed-readers available, the most popular being:

• Google Reader
• My Yahoo
• Blogline

For news on a mobile device, NewsGator has RSS reader software that works in Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices.

If you already have a reader such as Google RSS Reader set up, the headlines will be delivered there as soon as we add the next news report to our Latest News page.

RSS on your bookmarks toolbar: Note that the  Firefox browser has a setting that changes how you receive RSS. Go to Tools > options > applications > web feeds and from the drop down list choose 'preview in firefox'. The alternative setting - 'add live bookmarks in firefox' - adds the new RSS content straight to your bookmarks toolbar.
