I chose to analyze the websites www.Kuro5hin.org (Kuro5hin) and www.english.ohmynews.com (Ohmynews).

Both of these website are excellent sources of information, outstanding for public and online journalism, and very well organized. However, there are several differences between the websites. One of the prime differences that I notices are the manner in which the articles are published on the websites. Ohmynews allows subscribed members to make posts on the website that are first carefully chosen by professionals. This allows for the public to contribute to the news. One thing about today's journalism is the amazing interaction between the people and the media. This website allows for this interaction, but is also highly regulated by professional journalists.
Also, Kuro5shin allows for the public to make contributions to the website. This website is extremely aimed to the public and it allows for media to become a very personal and enjoyable experience. It allows for the public to decide what to post, what is important, and what stories are the most imporant.
While both of these website are extremely user friendly and interactive, they perfectly portray the new age and how journalism, media, and news are becoming more and more public oriented. This allows for the PEOPLE to choose what is IMPORTANT news, as well as allows the people to post opinions and share more information as they please.
