Our Week In The Web: July 31, 2015

This feels like the fifth time we've discussed different social links before in this space, but apparently something we're doing isn't working for folks, so we wanted to discuss linkage, attribution and placement of stories on our Facebook page and occasionally our Twitter and Tumblr feeds. We share a variety of stories and links — from our guests, reporters and trusted news sources — and hope you'll get the chance to read and share them as we did in order to get up to speed on whatever topics we're talking about on air. So when we, say, share a piece reported by our guest Nancy Cordes of CBS News on a nationwide 'house party' effort by Democratic Presidential Candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, we didn't report the story. We share it ahead of our broadcast the following day to prompt discussion (which it certainly did) and get our followers ready for the upcoming show. We understand that sometimes, comments and reactions to social media posts come quick and fast as you're scrolling through your newsfeed on your phone or during a quick break at work. But is there something we could do to help make it more clear where links come from on our social channels? Let us know on those channels (Facebook, Tumblr and @OnPointRadio) or in the comments below!

"Earlier this week, On Point Radio was repeatedly and vociferously accused of being a shill for the Right because of their program including Governor Scott Walker and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Now we have accusations that On Point Radio's producers are lackeys of some sort of progressive overlords. Hrm."
