Which appeals to you most as a reader? Why?
As a reader, I'd much rather read the news online at CBC because it has a lot more information about what is going on in the province than the local newspaper, The Miramichi Leader (link is unavailable) does.
Which method is more effective in delivering news?
I think the printed version is more effective because of the fact that the paper is infront of you.
What problems might an online newspaper face in terms of attracting readers?
A lot of times, an online newspaper has tweaks to work out with links because roughly 50% of the time, they aren't working. Also, some people may find it harder to read on a computer than the actual printed version because of the font.
What steps would you take to improve either newspaper?
For the online newspaper, I would make sure that every link works and I would make it easier to navigate from story to story.
In the printed version, I think it would be more attractive if it were colored.
What is each paper’s strongest attribute?
I feel that the strongest attribute in the printed newspapers are the police reports, but that's just my opinion.
How dominate is advertising in both versions?
The advertising is much more dominate in the printed version than online because when online, the ads just appear either on the side of the screen or the bottom and not many people take notice.
