One of the UK’s largest newspapers - Guardian.co.uk is offering its content in full-text RSS feeds. This remark the Guardian in turn becomes the first major newspaper in the world to do so.

They’ve applied the new full content feeds across the entire web site, but there are some exceptions:

1)   Guardian don’t always include cartoons, images and some of the other in-article elements that appear with articles on guardian.co.uk

2)   If they have any doubts about rights to publish the full text of an article in this context, it will just show a summary and a link to the main guardian.co.uk site where you can read the full version.

Advertising will soon appear within each Guardian full content feed item. Ads won’t appear in the items which we display only as summaries.

Newspapers have only offered partial feeds primarily because they can’t make much money in RSS advertising compare to selling conventional banner, text, and overlay ads on websites. Partial feed which only offers a headline and brief summary era seems like going to end soon.
