Assignment #1- Bruce Jenner Involved in Deadly Car Crash

Bruce Jenner Involved in Car Crash

My go-to website for news is usually huffingtonpost.com. I always use HuffingtonPost because they are current, reliable, and easy to use. I like HuffingtonPost because their stories are short and sweet but also informative. I check my email daily and I am subscribed to their updates, therefore I see the latest news and it always captures my attention.

In this article you can see that text, a photograph, and a social media feed is used. In print they talk about the scene and cause of the accident in detail. They also provide two pictures of the accident scene. In the social media feed you can read people reactions to the accident as well as some witnesses' interpretation of what happened at the scene.

I personally believe that the text and social media feed serves as the strongest source of information. I say this because they are the most informative. The pictures are useful for visual purposes but don't give viewers answers to how the accident came about or who is in the wrong. Everything is at your disposal and is easily accessible being that is also mobile-friendly which is very important to me. I have read this same story on other sites and I wasn't as impressed with them as I was with this one.

As far as additional media coverage a short video or audio clip would be nice. It would add a nice touch to the experience. Other than that I feel this piece was well put together and got the story across to the readers.
