Reminder: Please don’t use ChatGPT to create web content/strategies. It needs human finessing and approval.

Roundtable
Should we be updating links in old news releases when they’re broken?
- This requires more discussion about when it’s appropriate to update a link in a news release and how to do it properly
- It’s a good idea to visit the pages to check why the links are broken because in some cases they are broken because they were coded wrong (i.e. AEM relative links)
