NPR reconsidering clueless linking policy?

By at 4:49 pm Thursday, Jun 20

David Rothman reports on his blog that NPR is reconsidering its policy requiring linkers to seek permission before putting a link on their websites. This is good news! Let's hope they do the right thing.
NPR Ombudsman Jeffrey Dvorkin has just told me that the legal, news and Web sides will reconsider the policy this afternoon--he himself will participate. I'll think good thoughts.
