Online Journalism has become extremely popular in the last decade and it is probably just as important for large Print Companies to focus on updating the online newspaper version as it is the Newspapers themselves.
This is the Homepage for my Kent Flash Website, I had to do quite a lot of research into the conventions of journalism websites and I think I have demonstrated this well on the Homepage, this is where most of the criteria is on as it is the first page the reader will see and the first page in which they will cast their judge on. I have Included text to welcome readers to the website, Clear and Easy links, Title to reinforce each pages, Advertisments which is key to most media nowadays, Pictures (Including Newspaper picture) To capture the readers attention and also to make them aware of the Newspaper and the appearance of it so when it is in shops they can recognise it. Also I have a box down the left hand side of the page which is supposed to be links to your area's news however there were limitations to this and I could do that and I didnt have all the information to link as a news page for that large number of towns listed on the left hand side even though I'd have liked to have completed this aswell as more pictures, links, and News Articles if I'd have had more time and then I could have created the a full website that could actually be considered and ready for publishing.
I would say the part I struggled with most was the hyperlinks, although we only needed Two Hyperlinked Pages, I did do a few more just so as the website could flow better, and hold more information and overall impress and appeal to more people. For the first 2 pages (Home and News) I had most of the content which I used on the Newspaper. But alot more of the content was needed for the Newspaper as most newspapers cover Sport/Leisure/Gossip Topics for thier audience and I definitly needed to do this on my local Newspaper to ensure I can call out to a range of people. So I then had to find more content on the net and also Primarily Use research to go out and find events/activities making place and then make up the Articles.
