Google’s free alerting services
Google email and RSS alerts are seriously broken– do not alert you to everything that is new– alerts sometimes ‘die’– often bring up old material that you’ve already seen– duplicate information
More reliable to bookmark searches, run them manually and apply date option
Customise Google News and add topics to news.google.co.uk
