Sooz on a News Site’s Linking Practice
Sooz wonders why The Boston Globe doesn’t include more links in their articles, especially articles about Web sites and weblogs. She wrote to them and shares their unsatisfactory response on her weblog. The lack of links in a new Boston Globe column about weblogs by Adam Gaffin of Universal Hub encouraged her to ask the question.
Steve Garfield (whom you might remember from a recent Boston Globe article) mentioned the same matter recently on this weblog.
"Hey Boston.com, it’s an article about blogging.
Online readers are going to want to click links to read more.
At least provide a clickable link to the URL that you include in the article."
