Policy Content of writing news recipes?

Can I assume, we should omit tweet, facebook, email, print as well as related topics URLS within news recipes?

The first item, tweet, email, and provide text formating anomalies. The second item can really fill-up the EReader devices screens.

I assume most EReaders lack a keyboard, so the first item can likely be omitted.

For related articles, most have some sort of mouse movement but we're taking for granted they also have Internet access. Most times, due to cost and the fact browsing is usually slow, I just use my home computer for Internet related actions. And... I *almost never* view related articles.

So, should we format the news as if it's a regular newspaper?

(The builtin recipe that caught my eye on this, is Reuters - it contains the above, for which I just spent time trying to omit within Fairbanks Daily News-miner recipe. Since Reuters places really high on Google for News RSS Feeds, I'm in midprocess of snipping some tags.)

It's up to individual recipe writers. Personally, I like to keep related links, but remove the rest.

I usually omit the tweet and facebook type links. I often leave internal links and related links, but it depends on the recipe and how aggressive the site is about adding the links. I read recipe-created ebooks only on devices that have a keyboard (PC, smartphone, Android tablets, etc.) but I still don't like the ebook cluttered with lots of facebook similar social media links.
