Linking overview
• BBC strategy to double outbound links from 10m to 20m a month by 2013
• Links well suit unique selling point for BBC News: our expertise
• We’re also well placed to link to the best of the web without fear or favour
BBC MMX
If you remember nothing else…
• Avoid news stories and link to useful stuff - analysis, explainers, Q&As, pic galleries etc
• In features inline links should be of direct editorial relevance but don’t have
to be primary sources
• It must be obvious to the reader which bit is a link, and what it’s
going to. Don’t refer to paywalls or registration; don’t say “click here”.

Inline links – how to, Q&As, newspaper reviews & See Also link blog
• To insert an inline link in CPS V6 highlight the words you want to be the link, hover over them, right click
on your mouse and select ‘inline link’
• Every Q+A should from now on have a final question: "Where can I find more about this on the web?" with
some links to primary sources or helpful sites, or even where appropriate our own content
• In newspaper reviews, the link text should include the newspaper name, the active verb and something
about the story, eg
The Guardian obtained video footage of the incident and has gathered statements from 15 witnesses
who saw Ian Tomlinson before he collapsed. It says their accounts contradict the official version given
by police. The Daily Telegraph says pressure will be mounting to identify and suspend the officer
pending an investigation.
• Reviews of opinion on a particular subject can be put on the See Also blog (
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/seealso/). Contact Clare Spencer.
