Webmasters or bloggers wishing to add our news headlines and job listings to their sites can now do so for free using some simple Javascript code or by adding our widgets.

Following the success of our recent introduction of five RSS feeds, we have decided to expand the syndication of our content to allow it to be more easily included on other people's web pages.

Journalism.co.uk publisher and editor John Thompson explained: "We realised that some of our content was being copied on other sites and we wanted to introduce a legitimate means by which webmasters could still benefit from our work, while maintaining our branding and links back to our site.

"As not everyone has the technical expertise to incorporate our RSS feeds on their sites, we have come up with a more simple solution whereby all you have to do is copy and paste a simple string of code in the place on your web page where you want the content to appear."

The code, which can be cut and pasted from the boxes below, will insert either a series of news headlines and short standfirsts or job titles and descriptions, with each news headline or job title linking back to the full content on our site.

The appearance of the content can be controlled using Cascading Style Sheets; example content appears beneath each box so you can see what class names are used. Simply add the class names to your CSS document and style them as you wish.
