This morning I read that K -12 textbooks have been eliminated in California.

If a newspaper adopted this approach – the story plus the hyperlinked web content and delivered the results in printed newspaper format I think they would have a good shot at moving into the vacuum created by the disappearance of textbooks in public education.

The only changes necessary would be to edit according to educational standards instead of “the breaking news.” I would think it could be easily supported with ads from public health, civic organizations and government messaging.

What I find interesting is the placement of those Wikipedia links on the news homepage. When they 1st appeared early Saturday, there was a link on nearly every major homepage story (as seen in Grays screen shot). It’s a game changer, as a traditional media company may publish hundreds of articles related to a single topic, just to stay atop the cluster of news. All the while, the wikipedia link remains seemingly static, with an unchanging url that prominently sticks out amongst other results.
