Week 13-What’s Next: Inovations in Newspapers
This really is a multi-media blog! What’s next: Innovations In Newspapers, is a great blog full of interesting pictures. A refreshing change from blogs that consist of large slabs of writing and very little interactive media.
A theme noted immediately in this blog, is American politics. Posts regarding the battle for the Presidency of the United States of America between Barack Obama and John McCain being frequent.
‘A free ride for political advertising’ and ‘Yes McCain is in trouble’, are effectively using a visual to send the message of the blogger as well as supporting the image with a paragraph or two of text.
As well as this, the blog contains personal accounts of Giner, making regular posts on a temporary blog while traveling on the QE2, titled the ‘QE2: The Last Crossing. The American Farewell of the longest serving ship in Cunard’s 169-year history’.
Posts by Juan Antonio Giner, the lead editor and founder of the blog, are brief but clear and concise and to the point. These qualities are ideal for me when reading blogs, the effort isn’t poured into a creative style of writing and the over use of words containing more that three syllables. Instead, it is in the form of an easy to read blog covering a range of interesting topics utilising multi-media tools.
The site also contains an impressive worldwide ‘blogroll’ linking readers to other blogs and widening the perspective of a reader.
