Linking: God or Bad?
Linking can be a good thing in a story but only if the links are credible and go to factual news websites. Making sure to check the website's content, material and objectivity is vital and absolutely necessary. Links also make websites more interactive, which is what most viewers want. Through linking, more websites should get more traffic, thus helping get their name out in the public mainstream even more so. Linking should not make the AP become obsolete because the best pictures and stories are from the AP. Wire services are also used by many news organizations to get photos and some stories.

Read the textbook about avoiding the "for more information, click here..." sidebar link sentence.
ReplyDeleteWhat about local news organizations who can be at a scene much faster...although they might not be as decent of writers as AP.
