Kevin: Guidelines For Statesman Links

Opinion Editor Kevin Richert/Idaho Statesman just sent an e-mail to Huckleberries Online re: his newspaper’s policy about links. I’ve kept him aware of the discussion going on here about that policy, after the dust-up between the Statesman and Idaho Conservative Blogger. Richert posts: “A quick post to clarify our policy regarding the use of Statesman material on other blogs or sites. We encourage fellow bloggers to pick up — and link to — Statesman articles or blog posts. We would ask you to write a brief one- or two-sentence summary and link to the original article at IdahoStatesman.com”/ Kevin Richert , Idaho Statesman. More here .

Question: Do you consider this policy reasonable?
