Links are important for editing the website. I have used it before in my blogs and in stories but I have only recently started using them in the breaking news.

Links help readers to find the story quickly. It could lead them to another story to learn more or it could lead them to an entirely new article.

The breaking news are what shows in the bar on the home page of the website. It lists events and new stories. During my first year as web-editor, I have never used it. Therefore, the stories would be shown but the reader would have to look for it themselves. By attaching these links, things will be easier for the reader. They would only have to click on the breaking news to be sent to the article or slideshow or anything else.
