Many of us receive information from multiple news sources on a daily basis. You may start your day with the morning newspaper in hard copy or on your iPad, Kindle or Kobo. If you are in the transportation industry, throughout the day you are likely receiving trade magazines in hard copy and/or digital form, news feeds and white papers from various sources, updates from your LinkedIn groups, Twitter feeds, Facebook updates and of course dozens or even hundreds of e mails and text messages. Of course many of us have interests beyond freight transportation that may include Business, Investing, Sports, Technology, the Arts and/or a range of other topics. Trying to stay abreast of the news in these areas can often result in another set of publications and news feeds. The management of information can be quite a challenge.
Using software developed by paper.li, I have tried to make life easier for transportation professionals. Dan’s Transportation Newspaper is published daily, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. The primary focus of the paper is freight transportation. Stories on truck, rail, air and ocean shipping are included. Since many of us are keen students of Business and Sports fans, the scope of the newspaper includes important stories in these areas.
The freight sections include stories from the Journal of Commerce, Transport Topics, American Shipper, Logistics Management and from other American and Canadian sources. The Business section contains features from the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, ISM, The Economist, Report on Business and other leading publications. The Sports segment provides articles on the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA and the CFL. There are 25 major news feeds that supply articles to the newspaper on a daily basis.
Busy transportation professionals can now obtain the latest news in all of these areas in one daily newspaper. The good news is that there is no charge.

If you are interested in obtaining a free subscription, just click on the link. Over the coming weeks and months, I will be monitoring the quality of information supplied from each news service. As improvements are made to the software, they will be incorporated into the newspaper. Watch for daily editorials and other value added features such as a “Discussion Corner” in the future.
For those of you who do subscribe, please send me e mails to let me know what you like or dislike. They will be most welcome and every effort will made to refine the newspaper on an ongoing basis. I hope you enjoy the format and the content.
