Every so often a journalist updates you to some of the projects they are working on and as you may have guessed it that is the subject of this post. This semester I am working on a very exciting project for my Media Studies Capstone class. I am researching convergent journalism specifically the look and usability of a television news station's website. I am in the process of reading and finding out what all the experts say are effective and not effective ways of using news websites. While all of this research is great there is another source of input that I would like to have. The need for this is because as apart of the project I will be designing web pages for a fictional television news station based on what I think works and doesn't work.

So who is the other source I would like to have? The answer is YOU! I would like to know what you look for in a television station's website, what do you like, what don't you like, what is not there that you would like to see?

Television stations work to serve the interests, convenience, and necessity of the public that they serve. Since as journalists we work for the public, you, I would like to know your opinions on television news websites are.

You can let me know what you think by commenting on this post or e-mailing me at Andrew.Huck@LCTV13.com. I look forward to reading what you think!
