Salt Institute launches NewsCentral

Alexandria, VA (March 27)….Want the latest information and breaking news about common salt, sodium chloride? Or are you looking for developments in the global salt industry. Or do you have questions about any of the 14,000 known uses of this useful crystal? If so, you may be interested in a new free service from the Salt Institute, NewsCentral.

NewsCentral provides free subscription news feeds from the Salt Institute, the world’s foremost source of information about sodium chloride, its production and uses. While some feeds are available only to members of the Institute, anyone can subscribe to more than two dozen separate feeds which automatically deliver content from the Salt Institute to subscribers’ computer desktops.

The NewsCentral service can be accessed two ways: subscribers can download a free newsreader pre-loaded with all the Salt Institute feeds and which subscribers can also use to access other online media news feeds or those interested in only one or two of the feeds can simply subscribe to individual feeds using their existing newsreader.

“Our job is to make sure consumers have access to the information they need to understand how to take advantage of the many beneficial uses of salt as well as assist the news media, investment analysts and students understand the process of producing salt and the dynamics of the salt industry,” explained Salt Institute president Richard L. Hanneman. “These RSS feeds are the best way for anyone with a continuing interest in any aspect of salt to keep up on the information they need without having to sift through the volumes available on our website.” The Salt Institute website is the top-rated website for Internet searches for information on “salt” using Google and most of the leading search engines.

The Salt Institute is a non-profit association and provides the service free, without advertising. NewsCentral can be accessed through the Salt Institute website, http://www.saltinstitute.org or directly at http://www.saltinstitute.org/rss/subscribe-rss.html.
