Links As News, Links As Art

txt: Reinventing Journalism On The Web: Links As News, Links As Reporting – publishing2.com

Robert Niles at Online Journalism Review has a practical guide to linking on the web, where he observes:

“Ultimately, the addition of useful hyperlinking within an online news story reflects the strong reporting of its author. If a reporter does not know of online pages with extra information relating to the story, he or she cannot link to them. But if you have that information, why not share it with those readers who are eager for it?”

Again, I would take this a step further — links aren’t just a fundamental element of the reporting.
Links can BE the reporting.
