About the News Digest

News Digest items are summaries of newspaper and magazine articles that provide information that helps you look out for yourself. Each day we digest 5 to 10 items of interest from the mainstream media.

The news digest works in several ways:

• At the top level, when you click on that "News" icon over at the left, you are taken to the Daily News Digest, where you'll find the latest "Looking Out for Yourself" news. At this level, the news is sorted by date, with the newest items listed first.
• As you delve deeper into the site via the "Contents" or "News" areas, the news works more like a file folder full of clippings related to the topic you are interested in. At this level, the news is sorted by relevance to the topic at hand, with the items most relevant to the topic listed first.
• If you don't feel like visiting our site to read the News Digest, you can subscribe to our free e-mail newsletter. All you have to do to receive the newsletter is check the "subscribe to newsletter" box when you register as a "Looking Out for Yourself" member. If you have already registered, just go to the members area to make sure you've requested the newsletter. If you no longer want to receive the newsletter, just un-check the box.
• You can also create your own view of the news by using the "Search" function. You can always do a quick search of the area you are in by entering search terms in the box at the bottom of the page. Or you can go to the "Search the News" page to do a more thorough investigation. We plan to beef up this capability over the next few months to give you a personal version of the "Looking Out for Yourself" News Digest (and of the e-mail newsletter).
