An Experiment In Editorial Transparency
Frequently, as the days go by, we bookmark items to come back to when we're ready to do a write-up on a given story. As something of an experiment, we've set up a Furl account through which we will, in essence, publish this "in process" set of bookmarks. So if you're ever wondering what we might be working on, click on over to our Furl page and see what local news items we've saved for future reference.
This may seem strangely self-defeating. If we're publishing links to stories we haven't ourselves yet covered, aren't we undercutting our own work? Maybe. But on the whole anything critically urgent we tend to post right away, while anything we bookmark for later tends to be something to which we hope to have something additional to contribute when we get around to them.
Only two things we can thin of would make this experiment a temporary one: Either we discover that it really does undercut our work, or we forget to make use of it regularly.
We'll find a place in our left-hand sidebar for that link later tonight, but in the meantime you can click through from here -- although at present we only have four links regarding two stories.
