At the end of every Sun-Times column, there is a section for related blog posts. While I appreciate the effort to alert me to other stories I may find interesting, their system for doing so is not that helpful. For one, often you can tell from the headline alone that the related blog is really just the exact same story located elsewhere and, as I've said before, there's enough white noise on the Internet that I'm not going to willingly subject myself to some anonymous blogger's opining.
The other issue that arises is when the headline indicates absolutely nothing about the supposedly related blog post. I've yet to see a blog of questionable legitimacy be linked, but that might just be because I've been skipping over all the headlines that don't immediately inform me as to what the post is about. That's one more good argument for writing pertinent headlines.
