Kerry's COMM 303 Blog

When I looked on the front page of washingtonpost.com, I found a story on a shooting that happened in Southeast D.C. The story includes a picture gallery, a map of where the crime took place, video clips, links, and a comment box for others to put their thoughts. I thought the map was informative especially to those people who live in D.C. and visitors. I also thought it was a good idea that they chose to incorporate videos and a gallery where people could see the crime scene and also hear from people who live near Southeast D.C. For examining the web package aspect of the story, I clicked on the link to a “crime blog”. I never click on outside links but I did for this assignment. However, I thought it was an interesting part of the overall website because it provides information about different crimes that take place. I think that the web package enhanced the story and only provided more information to the reader.
