Give an example of online print media (blog, newspaper, magazine) and describe how it works to support or detract from keeping the public informed.
Here is an example of a great article that informs readers in-depth, without detectible bias, and stays true to known facts. The article is complete with video, images, quotes from people at the site, links, and an interactive tornado map. I can't think of much else to put in an article. I remember a few years ago when I'd see an article and wish there was a video with it, but now there's a video for the vast majority of online articles on comprehensive news network sites. The information is from the facts that are most recently known, and a lot of the time are updated as soon as new information comes in. It starts out with the facts on the issue, and then goes to people's opinions and whatnot. This is great because the reader gets the facts first, then can form opinions, and then see other people's opinions. This is how it should be.
