The website I have chosen to analyse is the Sky News website. The link is http://news.sky.com/skynews/home. So maybe having a look around the site may be a good idea so you understand my posts and have experience of the site to comment back.
So this website supplements the television channel and summarises any main stories that have been featured on the channel currently. However, there is a search system where older stories can be found.
When you find a story you are interested in, the page will bring up the full story, but also pictures, more related stories and usually a clip of the report which has featured on the television channel.
I have chosen this story about the ‘Alexey Maryshev’ tourist ship that was it by a falling glacier in the Arctic to use as an example. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1279335,00.html
I chose this story as it’s one that I don’t think all of you will have heard of, so after reading it, it would be interesting to see how easy it was to understand and take away any key points. Because I personally think the way their reports are written are very concise and to the point and easy to take away all the main details. But if you could read that or any others and comment back about how detailed/interesting/comprehensive you found them.

Alyson,
This is an interesting website to analyse - a good choice! I think you seem to accurately describe the content of the site and I like the fact that you invite comments from your fellow study-group bloggers. It may be an idea to contact your study-group people by email, to remind them that they should be commenting on your blog....and you should be on theirs, and then notifying them and me of this via the forum. It's important, as this does form part of the assessment too, and is needed in order to generate a discussion, similar to what would occur in real-time seminars.
All the best
