NY Times now officially links to other sources

• Discussing the event from an upstart point of view:

(WebProNews): "Why the change of heart? Easy: Everybody’s doing it. And by ‘everybody,’ they mean oft-maligned elite media, with noses pointed firmly skyward:

• the Washington Post, NBC, the Chicago Sun-Times, USA Today, TMZ.

They let TMZ into their parties because he always brings the girls and Jaeger. But in an article about linking out to other sources, TMZ still gets the cold shoulder. The link in the Time’s article points to NYT’s Topics page with NYT articles about TMZ. Better to learn from them than from that animal himself—you can never trust the nouveau riche, you know.

• The reason that’s not a link directly to TMZ is because the NYT just doesn’t go around making drastic changes. Links from the Gray Lady will come from a special area on Blogrunner called “Times Extra.”"...

(Good definition of a headline from WebProNews article: "The headline, meant to be

• the replacement of the town crier,"...)

Headlines of course are seen by more people than actually read related articles. (sm)
