Linking News Article in Activities Section?

Hi guys, so I started a volunteering group during COVID where we would raise funds and donate meals + groceries to people in need during COVID. A local news agency covered it and interviewed me for it. I was wondering if it would be okay for me to link the article in my activities section -- just to give some more context to my activity. I was already planning to make it one of my most meaningful activities but I feel like this could really help it out.

Thanks 🙂

I do not recommend links in applications. It requires reviewers to completely examine them (as part of due diligence). With hundreds of applications to review, this adds an unnecessary burden.

I had a similar question for a similar activity. My health advisor told me to put it in if I had space in a general format e.g. "recognized...etc." I decided not to, since I doubt it would actually make a difference and on paper it sounded like I was just putting it in for the sake of putting it there. If I get any interviews, it'll be a good place to bring it up imo.

As you were an interviewee, the source of information is hardly objective. I would not include it. And who would want to follow an unknown link, anyway?
