online publications-Greta

The first publication I looked at was USA Today. Their website was very interactive and clear to read. Each category was represented by colors, ranging from Money, Travel, and Weather. Also displayed was a slideshow of pictures to go along with the stories featured. This is good because it catches the readers eye and initices them to read what the story is about. The second online publication I viewed was The New York Times. This is set up much like newspapers online. You can see your topics on the far left column, which provide links to go straight to the story. Also featured are videos of media stories. The final online publication I looked at was MSNBC. This site is set up like the others, with your topics in a column providing links. But it seems kinda plain. Not much color or things to catch your eye as a reader. Video links are provided but a smaller than the other sites I viewed.

Three things that should be featured are the weather and updates if severe weather is hitting near your home. Another feature should be stock markets. People have a lot of investments in the stock markets. And a final thing that should be featured are classifieds. People are looking for jobs, cars, homes, and deals all the time.
