What does everybody think about using OTS?

I think we should show the short while the ots summary loads then show the
full summary below the short description

Definitely choose one or the other. If someone starts reading the short summary and the OTS one appears, it would be confusing.

I'm in favour of using OTS for all news sources (including BBC). It'd make the site more consistent once we integrate BBC fully

I think the current way is just fine, maybe we should make it clear that it is just a description. We could also display the description by default (no click required) and display the summary on click.

Our site is meant to summarise articles though... the description is too short also

I think that could work, as the BBC titles are very short. Use it as a subtitle.

Ok, I'll handle that.
