Get a leg-up by linking out

By Julie Starr | Published: November 10, 2008
I love websites that point me helpfully in the direction of more information on the topic I'm reading about - maps, documents, related posts, how-tos etc. News sites are often reluctant, however, to point people away from their websites, preferring to link to previous stories on their own site. Scott Karp at Publishing 2.0 has been having a blitz on the value he sees for news organisations in linking out.

I like this post from Scott Karp on Publishing 2.0 about the need for simplicity in newsroom systems. He quotes a newspaper exec who wanted any new system to be "so seamless, so transparent, so idiot-proof that I can do it without training — and so that it doesn’t add more than a heartbeat to my day."
