Google Alerts
What are Google Alerts?
Google Alerts are emails automatically sent to you when there are new Google results for your search terms. Google currently offer four types of alerts: ‘News,’ ‘Web,’ ‘News & Web,’ and ‘Groups.’
These are a great tool for a journalist! They are also very resourceful for people that want to keep up on news and events. They are much more simplified and easier to use than a news feeder.
You will need a free Google account, but once you set these nifty alerts up you will learn to enjoy them. You control the actions of your Google alerts and set your own keyword search. You can choose to have the alerts sent to you when it happens, once a day or once a week. The alerts come to you in your email and show a brief story line to see if it is something you may want to read. If the story looks interesting to you, click the link and boom you are there. You also have the choice of setting up your Google Alerts to search the web or news.
