[Seattle-editorial] latest story?

[Gentry Lange]

It be better to put together a thorough 911 link feature. So while I'm not necessarily opposed deleting it is fine as well. For example, Mike Rupert recently posted  something, and there's a lot of other stuff on the newswire as well.
 
I haven't had the time to write lately, but maybe tonight I can get something together.

Sheri,

That article was first posted on the newswire.  I proposed it as a feature not looking particularily close at it.  Everyone liked it and approved it with the stipulation to site source; however, it was posted anonymously and the copyright issues of just claiming it as our own off the newswire became apparent to me.  I tried to contact the writer via the web site only to have my email not go through and disappear on me.  We don't really have a policy about sending readers off site; some don't feel it is a bad thing.  So reluctantly I just linked it to the site.  I agree the site looks bad and commercial; a real shame as the article is really great.  It is the web site for The San Francisco Chronicle.  

Anyway our debate on this is in email.  And I agree I don't particularly like the results of this.  I'll delete it if others feel the same way.

Judy
