The lesson of Friday we have touched various topics: international newspapers online, newspapers, online only, the issue of copyright, the European newspapers and local information.
left the United States. The site of the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/ ) is built exactly like a paper magazine: very simple but very clear. It 'obvious that give value to the texts that the Italian newspapers do not. The column menu is narrow and reduced to make way for a sort of sheet of paper. The construction of the site could be defined as a pastry: virtually every time you turn the page, deepens, as if each subject was in itself a newspaper. This kind of construction is also on the sites of major networks and news agencies. Home page are therefore a central image, an outline of information and the opportunity to deepen. Taking the example of the second proposal news Yesterday the home page of the NYT, we could see what there is rigor in the preparation of the news itself and its proper use, a quality not found in Italian newspapers on line. Insert hyperlinks within the text of the news is the absolute practice in Anglo-Saxon system. The page where the news is becoming a sort of internal database that provides news and related the story of the character (in the case analyzed part, Obama). So interactivity and the ability to "learn more" is provided to you so that it leaves the site to look for information elsewhere. In this sense, the site of the NYT is a real trap that is difficult to exit prior to meeting the information needs. The NYT also has a unique writing (for print and the web) so that the value of writing online because it increases the site together even the big names of the head. The news is divided between the more read, more expeditious, more blogging: it is a refining of the classification of the Italian Popular News. Another difference from that applied in our country there is no need to break the news to keep the player on their pages.
CNN, American all-news television channel, ( http://www.cnn.com/) has a site more modern than the NYT, but even here, in the news The reasoning of the first and deepening the internal database. Taking a look also to news agencies, Reuters and Associated Press (which I mentioned in a previous post), we realize the diversity of approaches to information than in the UK and, more generally, to Europe. Broadband, connections easier, the possibility of access, habit, the large capacity comparison between different realities (blogs, radio, television channels) lead to increased need for the user to be able to differentiate in-depth ' offer. In Italy, 80% of the market for online news is instead divided between two major newspapers and two news agencies.
Turning to the newspapers only online, turns out to be the most widely read Huffington Post ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ ), born in 2005 as a blog. In fact, the blog keeps the setting: a proposed list of news with their comments. Very fast, very immediate in the texts, the newspaper founded by Arianna Huffington has managed to capture and hold, accumulate, the attention of many readers. Every blogger has his own mini-website within the site Huffington, who becomes like a container. The costs are relatively void and can boast a lot of publicity. In Italy we have a sort of equivalent of the Huffington Post, such as logic: Dagospia ( http://www.dagospia.com/ ). Here, instead of Arianna Huffington (who attends the good salons in Washington and New York), we have the journalist Roberto D'Agostino, which offers content and deals with general background. The big difference is that on the news Dagospia is commented out, so you can not talk about blogs, and the text is a simple copy and paste.
On the subject of copyright / copyleft return later in a separate post, given the complexity of the topic. I conclude with a quick couple of notes:
- speaking of European newspapers as we learned in all countries except Italy, the watchwords are: navigability, accessibility and usability. Fissiamocele well. I sites visited have more or less all the same features and differ mainly from the American model for the lack of hypertext. A special case is, however, the Guardian (which I have already talked about earlier, when he won the Webby for best online newspaper): The home page is essential and very reminiscent of CNN and Reuters. He has very few images to give a further enhancement to the advertising. Like the NYT, the text of the news It contains hypertext links to provide more depth and stem the outflow from the page looking for information from the user. Finally we saw that in addition to the traditional option of printing the article and send it by mail, add to share (share), to add it to your "clippings file" and contact the editorial office (for reporting errors or for any other type of need).
- local information I have already talked about when I presented the opportunity to read the news regarding my city. A lesson we talked about how there is a dimension of the Internet: everything is relative to a point of view of area, distance and time. Every reality (area) and any news at all times, is a matter of interest to someone. Large portals, such as the Courier or the Republic, create, where they present their printed newspapers, including the online version (except for their version Local Parma for the Republic, where there is no consideration in paper). The fact that the Italian sites are very horizontal leads them to confuse the sites of local newspapers with those of national newspapers. This translates into an advantage, however: they can afford to offer a range of light duty, as part of a highly structured agenda, which can provide all the information service.
