How to Follow Missourinet’s News Updates

Updated

You can follow Missourinet’s reporting by checking the NEWS UPDATE section on missourinet.com, using the site’s search box to find past stories, and looking for the site’s subscribe entry point if you want updates delivered. The site presents stories in reverse-date order, so the newest items appear first. This approach suits readers who want Missouri news, audio reports, and election or policy coverage without relying on social media.

Start with the NEWS UPDATE section

The homepage’s NEWS UPDATE area is the main place to see what has just been published. Each item includes a headline, a short excerpt, and a date. Recent examples from the page include:

  • WashU’s first chief health AI officer: Missouri is the best place to test AI use in healthcare (LISTEN) — Oct 26, 2026
  • Follow the money: Who’s bankrolling Missouri’s final election push? (Deeper Dive with Missouri Independent) — Oct 25, 2026
  • The Ozarks Tradition of Divining Water and graves and the People Who Practice It (LISTEN) — Oct 24, 2026
  • Archery Gives Missouri Students a Different Way to Compete and Build Confidence (LISTEN) — Oct 23, 2026
  • Missouri Governor’s Mansion Becomes Training Ground For Incarcerated Workers (LISTEN) — Oct 22, 2026

Because the dates are visible, you can quickly tell whether you are looking at the latest update or an older story. Headlines marked (LISTEN) point to audio content, while others are text reports or partner pieces.

What the date order tells you

The page lists items from newest to oldest. If you check the site regularly, start at the top and work downward until you reach a headline you have already seen. That is the simplest way to avoid missing a new report.

Use the search box for past stories

The page includes a Search for: field. This is useful when you remember a topic but not the headline. For example, if you want to find coverage of the Missouri Governor’s Mansion apprenticeship, enter a phrase such as “Governor’s Mansion” or “Algoa Correctional Center.” The expected result is a set of matching stories rather than a single article.

Search is also helpful for following a continuing issue. Election coverage, for instance, appears in multiple items, including the “Follow the money” piece and the story on Amendment 8. Searching a candidate, amendment number, or agency name can bring those related reports together.

Look for the subscribe option

The site’s available signals include a subscribe keyword, which indicates that a subscription or sign-up path exists. The page evidence does not show a price, a login requirement, or a specific delivery format, so treat subscription as something to check on the site rather than assume. If you want regular updates, look for the subscribe link and read the terms shown there before signing up.

Recognize the types of updates you will see

Missourinet’s updates are not limited to one format. From the page evidence, you can expect:

Type Example What to expect
Audio reports “WashU’s first chief health AI officer… (LISTEN)” A headline and excerpt with an audio component
Partner journalism “Follow the money… (Deeper Dive with Missouri Independent)” Reporting credited to Missouri Independent
Regional features “The Ozarks Tradition of Divining Water…” Longer feature-style coverage
Policy and government “Amendment 8 creates Constitutional protections for Missouri Sheriffs” Election and institutional reporting
State agencies “MoDOT chooses rural highways to increase speed limits” Agency announcements and practical changes

This mix means a single visit can cover health, elections, culture, education, and state government. If your interest is narrow, the search box is more efficient than scanning every headline.

A practical routine

  1. Open missourinet.com and go to NEWS UPDATE.
  2. Read from the top down until you reach a date you last checked.
  3. Open any headline that matters to you; items marked (LISTEN) include audio.
  4. For a topic you follow, use the Search for: box with a specific name or phrase.
  5. If you want ongoing delivery, find and review the subscribe option on the site.

The main limitation is that the page evidence does not describe an email frequency, an app, or an RSS feed. Those details would need to be confirmed on the site itself.
