Website research

Website conventions

Website links

Websites offer 24 hour news updates. The job of the website is to make the audience engage with the content so they carry on navigating.


The Sun

The Sun has kept its theme of red throughout the website to emphasise familiarity to there audience. It is very busy which I like as it appeals to my target audience. The stories also include things that would appeal to my young audience, music, crime and celebrities. The layout is quite formal however I think it works effectively as you can receive the information clearly.

The Guardian



The Guardian has typical conventions of a pastiche newspaper website. It is quite bland though with plenty of space not being filled. I think this is because the Guardian is aimed for a target audience much older than mine. I don't think this would appeal well to my audience because the information is too political and serious.
