I'm the marketing manager at Newser and I wanted to clarify your point that our source links are hard to find. We actually link to the source several times, giving multiple opportunities to our readers to visit the original source. We have the source link in our rollover (if you access the story via the grid), in the story text, and on the right under SOURCES, highlighted in red. The Beyonce story did omit the inline link, and that was a mistake (which we would have gladly corrected if Ms. Waxman had sent us a friendly email). But we're not trying to hide the original source.
