There's still rss.
There's still email.
There are still blogs.
And there's gemini.
In México very little News sources use RSS, at most they have Flipboard accounts or Twitter :(
This also applies to information about the government, where most of the politicians and other elements use Twitter :/
You can't even get regulatory bodies to have an RSS feed. In my last job I was really annoyed because the only way you could figure out if the EU had changed their chemical regulations is by being in either a very specific LinkedIn group or just checking their website again and again.
It's hard to write software for regulatory compliance when the regulations and data schema change seemingly at random.
Sometimes you just have to dig a little deeper because they don't really want you using RSS. If you give me some examples I can take a look
True elsewhere – there's no profit in RSS I guess.
It is still around though and you can RSS-ify some sites.
