BBC News Online is one of the most popular news websites in the UK, reaching over a quarter of the UK's internet users and with around 4 million global readers every month, Worldwide! So they must be doing something right.....The website contains UK and Worldwide news, as well as sport, entertainment, science and political news.
The front page consists of the main news story at the time, along with a picture, at the top of the page. Along side this you are provided with links to other top stories. Also on the front page are more top news stories, along with related images.
I think the layout of the BBC News page is very effective. It is clear and easy to understand. The navigation on the site is very simple, on the left hand side you have all the links you need to gain the news information you want, such as health, education and entertainment.
Many of the news reports also use multimedia and have audio and videos along side the stories from BBC television and radio stations. I think this works really well. Each separate news story is laid out the same, with the main introduction in bold, using short paragraphs. This is good as it makes the stories easier to read from a computer. By having audio and videos it also makes the site more appealing and will encourage you to use this site for news.
