    I don't know if it is new, b/c news has been developing awfully quickly, or I just hadn't seen it before, but CNN stories can change a lot.

          Why not publish a sequence of small stories that connect together rather than one big one on the same URL that keeps changing?

            Readers who aren't aware of this behavior (most of them) aren't going to come back to the article so you have to keep recircing the same URL

              But in news presentation Search selects against age and Social against repeat presentation of links... so updating puts at disadvantage.

                To have individual interlinking but smaller stories would be more advantageous than constantly updating a large one.
