NIcole Meraviglia

OhmyNews is an online newspaper originating in South Korea. The main focus of this website is that the public can contribute writings about topics of interest. The editors of this website will read and edit the articles they receive before posting them on the actual website.

Slashdot is also an online website, that allows the public to vocalize their opinions through their website. Each article that is submitted to the website can put commented on, allowing for people to further post their opinions on the topic. Slashdot is more focused on important news such as technology and science.
I find I like OhmyNews better because it's a more laid back website and more user friendly. It seems easier to use and would have more topics that I would be intrested in. Slashdot is also a good website, but it just seemed more advanced and more difficult to use.
