[Seattle-editorial] latest story?

[Joseph Eisenschmidt]

How do,

While the story is a little 'cosmic', We do need to link to commercial web sites occasionally. Remember when the Cincinnati Enquirer got in a huff about us publishing one of their copyrighted pictures? We kind of determined that linking is always allowed-even though the link may break someday while a picture will remain. Re-re posting commercially available stories does lack freshness, if nothing else. 

I would like to see a weekly synopsis of the worlds news on our newswire occasionally. I'd also like to see a feature on the hundreds of non-commercial site folks can use to get real news. A link here, a link there; pretty soon we're talking real news. I'd like to see it be full spectrum, so folks can bore down through the right/left wing news they get saddled with. We could include links to AP, foreign nations official newswires, ourselves, etc. 

Part of our job is to teach people how to make the news. Another important part is teaching folks how to consume it. Sometimes just finding it is the hardest part.

hi,

i'm really confused about why we have a cosmic question story on the front page that takes us to a commercial website page about 911 making you sick.  in my humble opinion, this is not a story for the seattle imc to be featuring...catching a plane now or i'd comment further....
it doesn't even link to a local newswire story...
