seems to be the new news paradigm
headline : Something happened to a guy in town today ,
Story : for more information , use the Krpw news app.

news headline: Horrible man does this to someone,
there's more information look at our website , blah, blah ,blah,

meanwhile here is a cute story about baby ducks for four minutes

this redirection to apps and websites is b.s. and must stop

I agree, 137%, especially when the referenced website requires a subscription or pukes on an ad blocker.

It is even worse when the local tv website has a story, like a gigantic auto wreck and a heinous murder, but it took place in Serbia. It is another form of clickbait.
