Linking to Source Article
Admittedly AppleInsider does somme of their own feature pieces, but most of its articles are reporting on what others have reported. Example the latest features story about ARM Macs at WWDC is based on a recent Bloomberg report. It seems that AppleInsider no longer links to the source story, just names it. I think that’s bad practice. The Verge and other tech publications give proper attribution by naming and linking to the source piece. I seem to recall Apple Insider used to do this too, but it seems like the practice has been dropped and now it just names the source.
This may not be the correct rationale, but given the number of intrastate links to other AI pieces, I can only assume that this change in practice is about preserving site traffic and ad impressions. As a reader I want to be able to go directly to the source article if I want to learn more and I think giving proper credit to the source piece by linking is just the right thing to do. Please link to your source articles.

Again, sorry for missing it and thank for pointing it out.
Every story still has a link credit, where appropriate.
