6. I
love
aggrega(on.
Aggrega(ng,
as
I
wrote,
is
what
editors
do.
It
is,
to
repeat
myself,
“plugging
one
another
into
the
bounty
of
the
informa(on
universe.”
Readers
come
to
The
Times
not
just
for
our
original
repor(ng,
but
for
our
best
judgment
of
what
else
is
worth
reading
or
watching
out
there,
and
for
the
comments
posted
by
all
of
you.

Keller,

13. Summary-‐Style
Aggrega'on
(Poynter)
Put
the
spotlight
on
the
news
that’s
most
relevant
to
your
audience.
Pull
out
the
informa(on
that
your
audience
will
find
most
interes(ng
and
state
it
directly.
Use
your
own
knowledge
to
include
more
context
or
link
to
related
stories.
Quote
or
summarize
only
what
is
necessary
to
describe
the
news.
This
helps
keep
you
within
the
bounds
of
fair
use
and
gives
readers
a
reason
to
visit
the
original
post.
