Broadcast Journalism: Students will research, critique a news website and write a review. (Remember a review features what is good and bad about the site with recommendations.) We get our news in several different ways. News moves so fast that media has developed different ways to deliver the information as it happens. Whether it is through Blogs, websites, tweets, rss feeds, forums, pop-ups, video, podcast ect. The news never stops. News media companies are creative, so students will examine a website and include in your review the following information.
Give a brief history of the site to show its credibility.
Is the site user friendly? (Explain your answer)
What ways does the site offer the news? (Podcast, video, facebook link, twitter ect)

What are some suggestions that you would give the website to help offer news to people your age. (Explain what a teen news website look like)
