Effective this afternoon, the Hamilton Spectator's website has started carrying curated links to topical articles posted on other community websites.
The first article is a link to Matt Jelly's video and essay, titled, To My Educators: Let's Add Without Subtracting.

At the bottom of the Spec article is an explanation:
Hamilton is home to an increasingly vibrant ecosystem of news and views published on blogs and services such as Twitter, Facebook and Flickr, to name a few. As the city’s largest information source, thespec.com will from time to time highlight some of the best of those conversations and point our audience to them. If you’d like to be part of this effort, please email admin@thespec.biz.
RTH is excited to see the Spectator taking steps to reach out to other community sites and become part of the rich web of links that has grown up in Hamilton over the past several years.

Considering how newspapers are normally loathe to post external links and basically try to pretend their website is just print on the internet, this is a wonderful step and I'd like to applaud the Spec for joining the '90s unlike the rest of their industry.
I also notice the articles have comment boxes... didn't they take those away, or am I getting confused? Is the spec finally starting to grasp this "internet" thing?
