With the growing amount of people using the web to get information it is no wonder there are so many online news organizations today all over the world. I took a look at major sites namely news24, IOL news and BBC Africa.
Firstly I looked at the most popular site new24, this site is every reliable no matter what kind of news one needs they are sure to find it there. The navigation is very easy, everything is easy to find and one does not need to go through a long process in order to get what they what on this site.
The layout is great because one can see everything offered on the home page, one can go to what they want and comment on it in just a click of a button. This site has audio, videos it’s great. One can also have access to there newspapers which are Beeld, Die Burger, City press and many more. To visit this site goes to: http://www.news24.com/
Secondly I visited IOL, I see this site as a news site for the more mature group of people that just want the political and hard news fast and nothing else. The navigation is good leads readers with no problems. The sites layout is very easy on the eye there is a free flow of information throw out the pages. It is good on pictures one really gets a feel of the scene of the story as well as with videos, but there are few videos. As a online site I think they should include more videos to kind of take the readers mind to the scene get a feel of what happened so the reader feels like they were there themselves.
Its newspapers are all papers in the Independent newspapers group namely Cape Argus, The Star, Pretoria news to name a few. www.IOL.com
BBC Africa is very classy I should say firstly one can customize their own page which is really nice and one can also change the language. The layout is not so good for me everything is on the home page even if it’s just highlights from the radio stations, TV stations, business news, currencies everything which is too much.
The navigation is good cause it’s easy to follow. www.BBC.com
