There is no good reason why the article couldn't include a link to the Kickstarter page in the actual article text, preferably at the top where they first mention it. Are they that worried that people will leave and not come back?
Shame on you, BBC. Shame on you.
- cgranade 15y agoJust to point out, there is a link, but it's hidden at the bottom of the page under "Related Internet links." That's pretty bad, but it at least beats the many articles I've seen that discuss something on the Internet without ever providing a link that I could reasonably find.
- OzzyB 15y agoI don't disagree, but I think it's probably because the BBC can't be seen to directly promote a commerical product?
- trafficlight 15y agoThat's the entire point of the article...
- OzzyB 15y ago... I think there's a fine line between newsworthy-news and "here's the link to buy the watch!" that they would rather not cross, and thus err on the side of caution.
