Time is in our hands

Times magazine is a very interesting paper. I like this magazine because it not only uses its own information but it partners with the national television network, CNN. By combining the two, the website plus the paper has a great deal of information to the public. The main out look of the paper/websit is politics. Many people want to hear more about policts because who wants a news paper that does not talk about the on going tribulations of the one who is running our country. Of course, the paper/website also covers worldly news, for example the war in iraq and the upcoming 2008 elections. I like that each day the website is updated daily and people can get their fill on what is going on in the world that certain day. Along with other newsletter websites, the Times website contains a search engine that allows viewers to search their topic of their choice. The variaty that the website contains attracts most viewers. I like to go to a website and find my way easily for i am no good at all with computers let alone a website that is not very well produced. The Times website comes straight to the point. It helps lead to one topic of your choice, for example, just by going to the website, the home page contains main topics. If you need an update of the elections, you can click on a tag that is entitled “Election ‘08″ and you are on your way to gaining knowledge on the elections. Many websites contain false information, i would rely on only the ones which speak the truth. The Times magazine speaks the truth.

The New York Times

The New York Times newspaper website is full of great detailed topics, like the controversial topic about the 2008 elections, this year’s Olympics, and the very high gas and oil prices.  With so much going on in the world the New York Times website holds a lot of information about top stories across the world. The website helps viewers to locate the subject that they want to view by just setting the subject out on the home page and having many links to guide the viewer or the website contains a search engine that helps the viewer get faster location to that subject. The New York Times not only cover world news but also local and/or state news. The New York Times seems more of a political newspaper than the L.A. Times because Hollywood is in L.A. and that is where movies are made, but that would be my view. All in all, for more political, governmental, economic, society, and science facts, opinions, and information, the New York Times is a good website to look out for.

The LA Times- Entertainment

  The entertainment section of the L.A. Times is very well formatted. I can very easily navigate to a section of the latest news about many topics, such as, music, movies, T.V., and many more! I think that the entertainment section of the Times website is also very full of everyday topics of the on going world of Hollywood. For example, the Times website talks about the latest new movies and their own views about the topic that allow viewers to have a good idea of how the topic really is. Music and movies are my favorite topic and by going to the L.A. Times website, I can get my facts and info on the upcoming news about movies and music. The L.A. Times website also has a great selection of photos so that you can view your favorite star at either great parties or other awesome events. For most young teens, the entertainment section of any newspapers website would greatly be viewed because today our society is extremely influenced by the entertainment department. Many whom enjoy music, movies or many other topics will enjoy the L.A. Times entertainment section.
