I would appreciate hearing from readers on whether News Links should continue. Daily readers of recent News Links posts have ranged from 10 to 15 people. This number of readers may not justify the work of compiling the articles on either a daily or weekly basis.
The idea behind News Links is to provide readers each day or each week with key news items relevant to XUNICEF, UNICEF, or development and humanitarian action. Selected items appear as a short 2 to 3 sentence summary and a link to the published article for each item.
News Links started out of concern that news items - while often important - took up too much space in the XUNICEF blog and distracted readers from articles and comments sent in by members.
A fair number of our readers have said that they are not interested in seeing articles on the XUNICEF Blog that they could read elsewhere. On the other hand, other readers say that they like that News Links provides a 'curated set' of links specific to UNICEF's work.
One alternative might be a narrative commentary on important news relevant to UNICEF every few days.
If you are among those who open News Links daily or weekly, please let me know what you think?

Although I am new to xUNICEF, I have already gone through the news link and find it very interesting. I hope it continues!
ReplyDeleteI particularly appreciate insider news about UNICEF that may not be easily available through other channels.
ReplyDeleteI always praise those who post what I read in a variety way in different countries. If it could continue please let it do so.
ReplyDeleteYes, please, long may it continue! I read it through the weekly update rather than every day but much appreciate the curated collection as it includes articles that i haven’t come across in my own news scan. Thankyou, Tom, for all that you do to make this meaningful! All the best, Rozanne
