Writing
the online news is the integration and application of the principles of all the
other forms of media- its multimedia capacity, in general. It has the complete
details, updates and offers the readers choice for further information or
exploration: the text of print media, the sounds and audio components of a
radio, and the visuals and video features of TV. All these attributes actually
come up with an online news. But unlike print who doesn’t have videos and
enough images for support, and TV and radio which are limited in time and
space, online news is manageable, immediate, and interactive- meaning, it
provides a lot of opportunity for users.
I have to come up with a scannable article- something that my readers
would get the main points quickly. However, writing for online news is a bit
crucial when gathering data/sources over the internet. Because of its
interactivity and limited space features, it is very much susceptible to errors
and misinterpretation. When you encounter such problems, I have to tell you-
have the common sense. Analyze the source and its content (the presentation,
organization, and credibility) to come up with a scannable and user-friendly
article. Distractions over the internet such as facebook, twitter, blog, etc.,
are secondary challenges in writing this kind of news.
It is good to know that nowadays, writing for news, in the case of the
internet, doesn’t have to undergo with that so-called put-to-bed stage in
newspapering. In just a number of clicks and surf, you can come up with a very
manageable and comprehensive output. That’s
why it pays to become a blogger, through self-contentment.
