Supply Chain News
Keeping informed on supply chain news and disruptions is essential to all aspects of Supply chain. Below are some of the best resources out there for Supply chain news & events.
Two organizations you should be familiar with are ASCM and ISM:
Association for Supply Chain Management
Institute for Supply Management
If your company is willing, I would get them to pay for a membership(s), then join the weekly webinars available from these organizations here and here.
ASCM produces Academic publication articles here and here, although they are paid (Again, get your company to purchase or give an allowance)
Supply Chain Dive - Free
A free publication that provides plenty of cool resources and news, you can subscribe to their newsletters here. They pump out content quite often so you may want to filter some of their emails into a folder. They are part of a larger publication network and have some related publications in other specific industries that may be helpful as well.
Supply Chain Brain - Free
Another free resource from a large publication house, you can register for free here. Again, they pump out content constantly so you'll want to set up a filter for their emails - but still a great resource.

You can read more about JOC and their history on The JOC's Wiki page here. Since this is a paid service, I'd see if your workplace would offer to cover the cost. The JOC is certainly a great industry standard news source and many times while working in International transportation, it's been the quickest to report and the most in-depth source of news we could find on global issues.
Supply Chain Quarterly by CSCMP - Some free access, $89 per year
Six times a year, the publication delivers fresh, cutting-edge ideas on all aspects of the global supply chain, from product design, procurement, transportation, and warehousing to human resources, information technology, and finance.
You can subscribe for 89.00 US per year by using a form here to fill out your information, which strikes me as weird, so hopefully they get this updated to a more standard online payment system. A lot of industry news is still available for free though.
