Overall Content
- Web page has a bunch of news stories. I think that it is trying to sell itself to the reader. There is no advertising on the homepage.
- Intended audience is anyone who is looking for news stories that were written by the canadian press.
- Audience is directed toward Canadian news readers.
Compare with other resources
- This site shows the most popular stories in certain genres (Health, Sports, etc.)
- The website seems very polished and it is nice to look at but I think that if I was looking for news, I would probably look elsewhere first.
- The website may be preferable for Canadians because they seem to publish only Canadian stories.
- Canadian Press itself has been around since 1910 but they started using the internet in 1997.
Author
- The authors work for Canadian Press which is a well known news publication in Canada, and therefore I am willing to say that they are fairly trustworthy. I trust that editors have taken the time to look over stories and make sure they are factual and The writers themselves are probably no slouches either.
- Bias is evident in that the news stories are strictly canadian. The information is clearly for educational purposes as it is a news site.
- There is a section called "about us" that gives readers information about how Canadian Press goes about their business.
Links
- Links are used mainly to get to the stories and do not stray from the website very much.
- To verify the reader would probably have to use search engines to get the information needed as links to sources are not readily provided.
- Links were last updated today (Feb 9).
Conclusion
- I gotta say the website looks good, and for the most part it does what it is supposed to.
