Review of On-line Publications

     Because of the prevalence of the internet in today's society many
thousands of papers now publish an on-line edition. It is through the use of
this medium that they wish to make in roads in the communications market. It is
seen as a necessary step by many because of the loss of readership due to the
internet, broadcast journalism and radio. In my review I will examine an on-line
edition of a newspaper from each of the continents. I will comment on some of
the technical aspects each employ. I will also discuss the tools many of the
papers are using, that not only make them a hybrid of broadcast, radio and print
journalism but also establish them as the only medium that is using interactive
reporting.

     Representing the continent of Asia and the city of Hong Kong is the
South China Morning Post. It is one of only a few English language news papers
in the republic. The post has an air of journalistic freedom the other news

world section although very extensive is more of an overview of the continent
and the region rather than the entire world. It is not as inviting as some of
the other on-line news papers it has a uninviting look to it which lends it to
be a little less reader friendly.

     Business Day is the best offering of dailies for South Africa. It takes
a little longer to load the page but that is due to a very dominate graphic
which clearly outlines all of the major markets of the world. The major market
graphic is the most impressive of the elements of this on-line newspaper. Coming
in second is  business days entertainment section. It has well written and
intelligent reviews of cinema, books, theater, wine and food. As a whole the
paper has some major drawbacks, there are no pictures, essentially no world news
