NEWS 24 WEBSITE ANALYSIS
Printed newspapers normally have an early and late edition available. Usually the late edition comes out later on
during the day, bringing the most updated news. With online newspapers, such as News24, all news gets updated as it
happens, right on the spot. You are always up to date with the latest information available.
News 24 (news24.co.za) provides readers with the news, as read on most newspapers across South Africa. The only difference being that
you find it all in one place, on your home computer screen. If you prefer to rather read an Afrikaans newspaper, you can
pick your choice by clicking on the menu, and it will take you to the newspaper of your choice.
The landing page has all the headlines on, from which you can choose whether you want South African news, World news,
Sport, Entertainment, Sci-tech, Finance or Health. The choice is yours.
There are additional sections on the website for you to enter competitions, view photos, get travel information and the
latest prices on flights and accommodation, and my favorite, the latest traffic updates! No longer do you have to sit in
traffic jams, as News24 updates you on the latest road problems as they happen!
Many other things are also available, such as letters to the paper (editor), newsletters, TV guides, lotto, cartoons,
weather services, mobile services and callsaver services. Subscriptions to magazines such as You, Huisgenoot, Mens Health,
Golf Digest and many others can be done through News24.com. Links to partners such as Carte Blanche, Nova and other interesting
informational resources are also available which takes you straight to their websites.
Special reports make up detailed discussion reports of news headlines around the world, such as the war in Iraque, Aids
focus and so on. And when the world gets too dreary with bad news and you feel like a laugh, News24's own cartoon “Stidy”
will put a comical smile on your face as you see this cartoon based on the latest happenings around the world.
In addition to all the features available on News24.com, there is another aspect which makes it most enjoyable when spending
time on their website. You can have your say in voting poles about various topics discussed in the news. Join the online dating
services, or get in touch with old school friends via the link they have to SA Reunited, a service providing you with school and
class information of the year you went to school! You will be surprised at the amount of people who have registered for this service.
Conclusion

will bring you more and much much more than a regular news paper! News24.com is definitely a wonderful way of getting all the
latest news from your computer, and not having reams of paper you cannot control! Our vote for the best online newspaper, goes
