KTVZ.com - Convergence Journalism at Work in Central Oregon

For local news in my hometown, I always turn to KTVZ, Bend's NBC affliate news station because their website is not only user-friendly, but they also do a great job when it comes to converging media.
For each of the stories featured on KTVZ's broadcasts, users can view the story in both broadcast and article form. This feature is very beneficial in that it caters to both the consumer that would rather read the news and those who prefer to watch/listen to it. Users can also rate and comment all stories on the website. This system is also very beneficial as it allows the consumer to be involved with the news and have their voice heard.
The website also features news highlights from around Oregon and the Pacific Northwest in addition to links to the latest nationwide and global news featured on CNN.
KTVZ's website contains many stories that are relevant to their consumer and also allow the consumer to interact with each other and news.
