Can I still get the Academe Today email every day?

Academe Today, the daily email report, remains an exclusive benefit for those who have individual subscriptions.  However, the daily news items are still available on the Chronicle home page; also, the Chronicle makes available several news feeds in RSS (Really Simple Syndication), including its daily news.

Can I set up an RSS feed of the Chronicle and get the equivalent of the daily news e-mail?

The Chronicle makes available several news feeds in RSS (Really Simple Syndication), including its daily news.  However, note that Academe Today and the RSS daily news feed are close but not quite the same:

Academe Today (available only to individual subscribers) includes daily alerts which consists of a headline/link to full story followed by a sentence or two of description; so does the RSS daily news feed.  But every edition of Academe Today also includes links and references to content that it is in the weekly newspaper, as well as links to online discussion, essays in the Chronicle Review; career guidance posted on the job portion of its web site, Chronicle Careers; and postings on its other web site, Arts and Letters Daily.

In the works is a weekly RSS that would act as a guide to the printed newspaper.

Help setting up RSS is available at:

  1. Go to the MyU portal (https://www.myu.umn.edu) page and sign-in.

  5. Click "Back to My News" at the top or bottom of the page. The Chronicle headline news summary should now appear on your "my News" page (updated daily).
