Jay Rosen of NYU and PressThink describes the ethic of the link in blogging and news media. This is an excerpt from a Carnegie Council panel on April 3, 2008. For the full video, audio, and report, go to http://www.carnegiecouncil.org
Still today most ONLINE newspapers don't have links in their texts. Because these texts were written for OFFLINE usage and they only copied the texts to the web.
It is so sad. But they feel the economic consequences now....

Great post, but I disagree with the idea (3.01) that bloggers created first, the "ethic of the link".
I, and many others, have had static web sites which have been around far longer than blogs, which always understood the "ethic of the link".
Most edu tlds and information orientated web sites understood this concept very early on.
Bloggers are just the current crop in a long line of information junkies who understand the ethic of the link. Other than that, agree totally! ;-)
