Comparing 3 News Sites
Blog Entry #1
These are the 3 entertainment news site that I chose:
1. TMZ
2. E! Online
3. Entertainment Weekly
Design: These 3 entertainment news site have good designs in a way that they are simple and not distracting in one's eyes. They use white background which makes the website pleasing and neat. If I were to chose the best designed website, I will choose E! Online because it has colorful fonts that complement the whole web page. It makes the ideas or information more lively and attractive. The Entertainment Weekly has a lot of texts so it doesn't really caught my attention. My impression of it was "information overload". TMZ is a bit normal for me because it is somewhat the same like their TV program. It's just funny how sloppy they cut pictures of celebrities and put it on the middle part of the web page.
Content: TMZ and E! Online are known to have entertainment news, celebrity news and gossips. Both websites share the latest revelations about different personalities in Hollywood. But TMZ prefers to broadcast the negative things about the celebrities. Unlike Entertainment Weekly, it only focuses on the news about TV series, music, movies, books, family, and their newest, style. It gives the details about the releases of the TV series, movies, books, etc. It doesn't talk about an individual artist but instead, it informs the people about specific casts of a movie or TV series.
Usability: For me, TMZ is the easiest to browse with for the reason that you'll just scroll down to see and read the article about a certain topic. It has short articles with relevant pictures so that the people will get the idea of the information. While on E! Online, it has scattered photos with caption or title all over their web page so that makes it in a disorderly way. It's hard for a person to focus on one topic when he/she sees another interesting topic for him/her. But E! has its own advantage because they have live streaming for special events like Emmy Awards. Entertainment Weekly, on the other hand, can also be used in an easy way but the website has a lot to offer. They have so many information posted on their page that may be less important. It's a good website if you want to see other sources about a related topics because they have multiple partners like the Huffington Post which you can also see what they have said about it.
