For a few years, I was looking forward to newspapers embedding navigable links to the sources of their reporting. I figured that we just had to wait for the pre-Internet generation of journalists to retire and the next generation would cite better.

But now it is apparent that newspapers have no interest in doing this as it would encourage readers to go to another site and deprive them of advertisement revenue.

I would really love to subscribe to a newspaper that prioritized readers/subscribers.
