The fun things that happen with government legislation.
With the newest “social media” bill having been passed, you cannot get to Canadian news outlets (and I use that term to cover a wide range of outlets) on Facebook. That is a Facebook decision (basically to not pay for links that people put on directing to the outlets – purportedly because they take away advertising and do not pay royalties – that’s a whole other day’s discussion). Prompted by a government attempt to provide authors with royalties.
So, I can’t direct you to the editorial I place in Kindersley Social print editions – or at least the link to the print editions. If I put on the website address it will not allow me to use the address. So, you need to go directly to Kindersley Social website to see my writing. Which is not a bad thing. But as with any marketing, the quick click when you come across a mention is much easier than remembering to head to the website of the news outlet at a later point.
Just for the fun of it all, I invite you to head to the website of Kindersley Social (which really began as more of a social contact space and then moved on to help people find news that was relevant to the area). Look for a tab called Print Archives. If you open the archives, I provide an editorial in each print edition on the third page.
Enjoy!
