A lot is written about why newspapers don't link out more (such as this post about the Guardian's approach), with clunky CMSes and problematic workflows often cited as a reason.
Jemima Kiss's tweet made me laugh though after her review of the new Channel 4 news site was published.
She was asked on Twitter why there was no link in the review to the site:
Why no link?
Her reply? The review was written for the paper:
Reply: It was written for the newspaper!
I'm not sure what this tells us about the process of publishing stories and integration of off and on line, but I feel it tells us something ...
