Class Activity (13/7/05)
COPY STYLE
Many times, stories are extremely similar (if not identical) when it comes to the Age and The Age Online
Occasionally, because of the volume of news, online sources may provide very brief articles on certain issues
LAYOUT STYLE
Stories seem easier to read when there are breaks in the 1-2 line paragraphs, as opposed to the articles being “bunched up” in the paper
Internet provides links with other stories related to what’s being read
NEWS AGENDA
Internet provides a more flexible news agenda by constantly updating top stories and providing additional breaking stories (EG: 10:30am, all 3 lead stories are different to this morning’s edition of the paper)
Nothing is too prioritised: everything seems to possess the same prominence online
Paper is set out news/world/sport/metro, whereas online has all this and then some
The Age has columnists whereas ABC Online doesn’t
USE OF PICTURES
Same picture displayed on page 5 of the Age as well as The Age Online
Newspapers rely more heavily on pictures than the internet does (in terms of presentation of articles. Eg: Online, if one wants to see pictures, they can log on to the photo gallery; if one wants to read news, they can read the articles)
More recent photos along with more recent information (even video-links)
USE OF MULTIMEDIA
Website has more recent information. There is only one edition of the Age per day, whereas the internet is limitless
The internet (as opposed to newspapers) is easier to navigate, has more information and provides up-to-the-minute information, along with video-files, photo galleries, etc.
Internet provides various breaking stories which may not even appear in tomorrow’s paper
Up-to-the-minute weather and sports results
ABC Online advertises it’s current affairs programs on radio and television online
Less ads online, but ads come alive online and are a lot more noticeable than what would appear in the paper (and additional pop-ups to make themselves more noticeable)
Various features cover the page (links etc)
ABC website provides regional news (Victoria, ACT, NSW etc) allowing more information
Archives can be immediately accessed online (if you’re a member, that is)
