When using hyperlinks, the goal is to reward readers with something extra or another dimension to the story. This is generally referred to as "layering.<ref>Brian Carroll 37</ref>" By doing this, you allow your reader to move around from story to story, link to other sources, and even explore alternative subjects. No other medium provides for this. According to Carroll, "We should link to related content to allow the reader to pursue the subject rather than simply moving to the next story." By including these links, you give the readers a feeling of control. They are not required to wait until the end of the story. Instead, they can pursue the parts that interest them. | When using hyperlinks, the goal is to reward readers with something extra or another dimension to the story.
