              1. So news pubs have & will always update web stories and heds. But I've been noticing something with the last few articles I've read at CNN...

              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.

          Changes include adding a whole contributor, plus a ton of work that alters the angle of a story. I always wonder when I see stuff like this:

        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.
