To setup alerts go to Google alerts and specify the search terms you would like to track. Then select the alert type comprehensive includes everything, if you wish to receive alerts from blogs or news select those ones, you can also select web, video and groups. In the delivery options select feed and you are good to go.
Google News Alerts are faster now according to Google Blog and includes images wherever possible. Google Trends also offers RSS feeds for tracking hot search terms.
