I don't think it would require a full reiteration of the original article. You can briefly summarize the relevant facts; newspapers have been handling ongoing stories this way for over a century, it's a well tested pattern.

I've also seen websites that provide an executive summary and links in a callout box at the top of the page, that's an option too. Just providing an uncharacterized link does not serve the reader very well.
