stltoday.com

Since we had to do a local news source for this blog I decides to do stltoday.com. This website is the site for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, however the site seems like an entity all it's own. The main focus of the site, as you might guess, is to keep you informed with everything that's happening in St. Louis, as well as the world. I found that the site wasn't trying to be a newspaper, but just a great source of information. If you so desire though, you can get articles from the St. Louis Post Dispatch through the site. The site also features several pictures, audio clips, and videos, which help to broaden the spectrum of news. The site even lets users upload their own pictures and media to the site. This gives the user complete control of what type of media they want their news delivered to them. I think that this website is a perfect example of how a news site can use all aspects of journalism.
