Newspaper Assignment

As I was looking at different newspaper websites for good quality and professionalism I came across the USAToday newspaper website that had different interesting news clips, a few struck my attention.   There was a news clip about a doctor in New York City leaving the hospital Ebola free which was pretty shocking news to here since he had just left West Africa helping cure patients there with that horrible disease. There was a clip about Obama looking like a fool while he was traveling through China chewing Gum.  It's considered very unprofessional to chew gum in China.  I think the USA Today has good offerings as far as interesting topics to find out about and to see what is going on in the world.  There were some about the winter storm that hit the mid-west and effected people greatly.

I think the website layout itself could be done differently in such a way where it looked more professional.  I feel it looks more like a tv show kind've website rather than an actual newspaper website just because of all the animation and color choice.

The videos are pretty short about a minute long which is what an average news clip should be.  The length isn't that bad considering what the topic is on.  The topics are pretty interesting for the most part, there was one that I didn't really feel was necessary which was the one about the pilot flying a boy to go see the Northern Lights since it was on his bucket list to do.  It's not like it affected the world in any kind of way or helped.  The offerings I found on I-report seemed to be a bit more informational and interesting since there were stories about important events that were going on in the world and statistics showing population, environment, financial affects and so forth.
