Cui puts it another way when she says the feed can only bring the news you have chosen to you, and Ken  puts it very succinctly when he says you can use your reader to get specific news content delivered. There seems to be a feeling of cutting out the middleman. You can get what information you want without having to be subjected to all the other paraphernalia that surrounds it.

My assignment to find the SCMP feeds was kind of a trick, since they have only a podcast feed and nothing else! One thing to keep in mind: actually many news feeds only provide a headline and summary of the article, so you have to go to the original site to read the whole thing (and see the ads). There are also services that enable you to put ads in feeds (I will show an example in class - I didn't tell you guys about those and you weren't expected to know about feed ads independently). Also, you mention that feeds bring challenges to journalists but you didn't specify - how do you think the existence of feeds will change the way journalists work?
