Online News and Journalism that exists in today in South Africa!

The publication is a Sunday time’s online news publication updating us on the breaking stories, on South Africa, International, sports and business news. What I first noticed about the site is that it has a lot of stories on international news. It is graphical, visual.  The site has advertisements and also has the weather update. The site gives you an option on viewing the latest news clips.
The eyewitness publication is not very colorful like times live, but it has the latest news on local news and international, there’s sports traffic and weather updates. What intrigued me about the site is that news stories are updated after every 5 minutes making it easy for one to keep updated on breaking stories in SA  and all around. The reason that it is called eyewitness news is that it their reporters  get the stories when they are still fresh and they speak to witnesses and the reporters also witness the news happening so that is why their site is more accredited. There are a few advertisements on the site. The site caters for anyone who wants news on the spot. The weather update is the only visual and graphical part of the site. It also has an option of viewing videos about the latest news stories.
The news24 online publication layout is colorful and intriguing . it is very visual and graphical. It has pictures of news e4vents. An option of viewing the news stories on video. There’s advertisements., news, opinions, business, sport, lifestyle, games, multimedia, special reports and jobs. There is the weather update which is updated whenever  the weather changes. They have sms alerts and email alerts. What I learned about the site is that it is informative  and entertaining because of the lifestyle news and the entertainment section.
