WaPo Takes Reporters to School of Hard Links

Top brass at WaPo is instructing their reporters on the importance of linking stories today. At the direction of Executive Editor Steamed Marcus Brauchli, reporters are being taught the basics with all the sophistication of Thomas the Tank Engine. “Links are the signposts of the Internet,” Brauchli and Co. write in an office-wide email. “Without them we lose readers.”

Other standout lines:

  • The Washington Post is a very trusted source with a very high Google ranking.
