Younger audiences want news...and they want it now. I have my everyday sites that I go to but there are some sites out there that are getting my attention in different ways.
Websites are constantly changing to appeal to a larger audience. Older adults are content with reading the newspaper because that's how they grew up. With the newer generations, growing up in the technology era, websites have to become more modern if they want to keep their audiences.
One of the best websites that has caught my interest would be MSN. Other than being a good website to look up almost anything, it's very interactive and has a lot of multimedia. One website that hasn't been catching my eye as much, would be a news media that is closest to me: The Daily Beacon, our own school newspaper. This could possibly be the worst website I have ever been to. It has so much potential to be good yet, the few times I have visited the website I have been disappointed.
However, on the flip side of our school mediums, there is the Tennessee Journalist website. So far, I have been very pleased with the newly started website. They provide great multimedia and a chance for students to get involved as well.
Websites constantly have to change to stay afloat for the up and coming generations. If they aren't up to the most current form of media, you can almost bet that their audience members aren't going to come back for more.
