You can go to NPR and select specific news feeds for their content such as All Things Considered and World News. Thanks to Dave Winer for pointing this out.
As with most things NPR, their descriptions are well written. They have a nice definition of RSS:
“RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is an easy way to keep up with your favorite news and information. An RSS feed contains headlines, summaries and links to full news stories on npr.org or an NPR Member station Web site. If you click an RSS link, you will see XML (or eXtensible Markup Language) code in your browser. This is to be expected, since you do not view RSS content through a browser. You view the headlines through an RSS news reader (also called an RSS aggregator).”
I also though their terms and conditions for RSS were interesting, even though not as concise as their definition. The following is taken from their site.
“NPR's RSS feeds are protected by U.S. and international copyright laws. All rights in and to NPR's RSS feeds, including the content and technology included therein, are reserved to NPR. NPR's RSS feeds are available for personal, noncommercial use only. You may display the headlines, active links and other information contained in the RSS feeds (the "RSS Feed Content") on your personal Web site and otherwise use the NPR RSS feeds for personal, noncommercial purposes, provided that (a) you do not modify or delete any of the RSS Feed Content, (b) you do not redistribute the RSS feeds, (c) you do not post NPR audio files or full-text stories other than as included in the RSS feed, (d) the links redirect the user to the NPR Web sites when the user clicks on them, and (e) the use or display does not suggest that NPR promotes or endorses any third party causes, ideas, Web sites, products or services. If you display the RSS Feed Content publicly, including on your Web site, you must provide attribution to NPR adjacent to the RSS Feed Content, by including "NPR News Headlines" in text or by displaying the NPR logo contained in the RSS feed, without modification. Any other use of NPR's trademarks, or service marks, or of the RSS feeds requires the prior written permission of NPR. For permission requests, please visit our permissions page. NPR reserves the right to discontinue providing RSS feeds and to require that you cease accessing or using the NPR RSS feeds, RSS Feed Content, and NPR logo at any time for any reason.”
