Web Site Analasis

The website i chose to analise was cnn.com/crime. I did the crime section of it because I was particularly interested in what was going on nation wide with the crime these days. The organization is done fairly well, but I feel like it was a bit short and spread out. The audience primarily focused on adults. To my knowledge not too many kids log onto cnn.com in the morning befor they catch the bus. So I would say it is mostly meant for young and old adults. The purpose of the site is to inform the nation and communities with in it of the crimes that are going on not only nation wide, but sometimes even in someones city. The tone is rather dimeaning towards the person they are speaking of in the context. Today it speaks of an officer who was on duty and went to run errends while having a criminal in custody and while he was gone there was a hanging. Now the officer is charged with 41 counts of fraud and related offences. In the context there were a lot of logos and ethos used because the writer wants the community to see why the officer was accused and go along with the law in this case. The site is very easy to use and as soon as you load the site it has a list of different areas you can click on to see various areas of the site. It is easy to use and very easy to read to get a basic understanding of the site.
