In the first part of this series , I showed you why and how to use news roundups to remain in the loop of PPC industry news. Now, I’ll peel back the curtain and show you how I collect content for my curated weekly newsletter so you can create your own, according to your taste. With your very own roundup, you'll be able to stay on top of news in your industry, in your skills, and even from your competitors. All you need is a tool and some content sources:

Tools to Collect the News

First, you’ll need a tool to collect relevant articles and present them to you.

Digg Reader : For the purpose of putting together This Week in Ad Tech , I use Digg Reader to collect every article posted by my list of blogs. Every day, I'll log in and review the day's posts and keep track of articles to include in a Google Sheet. While scrolling can be jittery,  keyboard shortcuts (J) can make moving through long lists a breeze.

Flipboard : My favorite way to read content is with Flipboard on my iPad. It takes articles and repackages them like a digital magazine. Just load up your source websites and start flipping through pages of content. While Flipboard is great for reading, it’s not great for coverage. You may find yourself missing the occasional article because there isn’t a convenient way to group those that are unread.

Once you've got a tool to collect and present your news, you'll need to populate it with some content sources. You'll want to choose outlets that cover the content you're interested in.
