News Feed Component

About the News Feed Source

This News Feed component pulls content from the university’s WordPress news site: Stony Brook News

It does not pull from any news content managed within your Modern Campus site. If your department maintains its own local news pages, those will not appear in this feed.

If you need a news tag or category created for organizing News stories, contact Michael Gasparino for assistance.

Use this component:  1_Cards – SBU News Feed (New)

You will need to lookup the category or tag from our news site. 

Please use the tool below to quickly find the ID number for a News tag or category.
You can use these IDs when configuring News Feed components to filter content.

Tag & Category ID Lookup

Enter a keyword to find the ID for a News tag or category.
