I'm not sure if its a reason for their reluctance to do this earlier, but reporters tend to dislike updating their stories once posted (its better to write new copy), and links often have to be watched, because the serving site may change its urls or worse (if it were particularly annoying) place different copy at the linked page
- pavel_lishin 15y agoAnd the different copy may include something that would look pretty bad for the linking party; e.g., "AP claimed they were linking to a Boston Globe story about the Tea Party, but instead it was something about a Lemon Party! And it didn't look like the kind of party I want to attend at all!!"
