Video In Newspapers

The website i chose is called Seacoast Online.This is the local news website from my hometown in New Hampshire. It covers news from the surrounding towns on the seacoast, including some from the seacoast of Maine.

The website it well organized once you've come upon the home page. It shows the weather and date at the top of the page in a little box, and it shows multiple tabs along the side of that. One tab gives you the option of reading news from the towns of the seacoast including Exeter, Portsmouth, Hampton and York county. Other tabs include business, entertainment, sports, jobs, real estate and more.

The website offers different forms of multimedia including photos and videos. The videos that are displayed are not very long. Most of them are only about one minute long, although there were a few that were about 3 minutes longer. The videos are informational and interesting, but could be more attention-grabbing. I was only allowed to view a couple videos until the website requested for me to log in with an account in order to read any more articles.

I would consider this website as a little amateur. There may have been an abundance of written articles that were interesting. But it was lacking in the other forms of multimedia. The videos were short and their were only a couple that were recorded during each week. I think the website can improve in regards to the videos.
