Wave 3 online coverage

Laurie, over at her blog Dream into Reality, has made a great overall review for the online stories of Wave 3, during our study. She was tasked with investigating the website, and was provided us with a good view on Wave 3's net side. Now she has created a tell-all post on what she thought about them, which I imagine will provide good information for myself, and everyone else involved in our project.

Laurie's writing is well done and considerate, taking into account Wave 3's strengths and weaknesses in journalism. She also takes Wave 3's online portion into context with their television section, providing both parallels and comparisons. As I have said before, Laurie's blog is worth checking out, and if you want a different perspective on this project, I implore you to go check out her's.

In relation of my personal open on Wave to her's, I feel that I agree with her on the points she brings up. Like I said in my last Wave 3 blog post, I think that they have problems proportionally reporting stories, based on their relevance. From what she says about the website, it seems to follow this assessment to a greater extreme. They seemingly inject dozens of crime stories into their website, outnumbering all other stories, as a way to gather more views and shares. With this information, I think it could greatly reinforce the essay I will write, and perhaps the essay's of my fellow classmates.
