Ideas for Improving a News Web Site Thursday July 22nd
Searching for new ideas to improve your News Website or even your Blog Website take a look at Steve Outing article “Checklist for Building the Ideal News Web Site“.
Quote from Editor & Publisher of who he consulted for these ideas :
Here’s a list of ideas for how news sites could do things differently. Some of these notions are mine (based on years of covering this industry as a journalist, researcher and occasional consultant); others come from top consultants and academics who I’ve enlisted in this advice-fest. (I avoided asking people who currently manage or work at online-news operations; this column is about ideas that are out of the current industry mainstream.)
Here’s a sneak peek of all the points discussed in this article :
- The scroll-less home page
- Get smarter about photos
- Get smarter about ads
- More multimedia
- Where’s the “Breaking News” page?
- Blog, group, blog!
- Reader, blog thyself
- Wiki it
- Add interactive, from-the-community content
- Kindler, gentler registration
- Develop local-search capabilities
- Think (and link) outside yourself
- RSS feeds — lots of ‘em
- Take a cue from blogs: Permalink
- The perfect site?
Enjoy!
