Nyah's blog is not only organized well, but contains interesting and in-depth coverage and critiques of organizations I am able to notice in my everyday life...and I completely agree with her views.
I really love her critique of WAVE 3's website. I do agree that although news websites are certainly meant to have the majority of the "fluff" and other peripheral topics on it, I still do not believe that it should take up the majority of the website. A viewer has to be able to navigate the news easily if they wish to view certain core stories. With all of the fluff clogging the screen, it gets hard.
To expand on what she said, I also do agree that as modern day humans, we do not always have the time to journey to the distant "newsworthy" lands in the "deepest recesses" of a news website. We, as humans, usually do not want a linear broadcast that requires at leaf half of our attention (not to mention commercials...). For example, whenever I study for a current events quiz, I never watch the news. Instead, I simply scroll through the various websites we're given to study off of. It's easier, faster, and convenient, but can get hard if there is too much celebrity news blowing up my laptop and/or cell phone.
In short, as the amazing Nyah said, news should not block other stories from being viewed always. If a news organization is going to have fluff, it is best to put it on its website, but there is a limit, as there is with everything, and that limit should not be ignored.
