Is listing our media mentions in our News section canceling inbound link benefit?

[Virtru]

Long-time Moz user, first question ever!

When our company is mentioned in the news, we add a blurb to our In the News section on our site. If we link to the article, is that 2-way link canceling out the benefit of the inbound link from the publication?

It's a two-way link, but we aren't trading links with SEO intent or doing anything malicious.

Thanks,

Sean

This won't hurt you as it's a common organic happening. Lots of sites do this, and you shouldn't worry about it.
