Home page notes (this slide to be completed) • Greeting, new to CNN • Country flags • Will have headlines • You pick your local (your own country), go to location of event and see local reporters on all sides, readership • Tips on how to get the most out of it • Underlying things that have to be clear: link to the declaration of CNN’s ethics (what we’re about) • All sources and readership … tell how we did it so that we’re clear, trustworthy, transparent • We explain what we do (like the powerpoint presentation … could be a video) • Several examples of how bad or lack of info can be disasterous (story-telling) … you want to show the loss (verses the gain) because it is more persuasive … if you don’t have the right info it will cost this gov a trillion dollars … etc • Home page general flavor must make points that no one can disagree with (family, pride, doing what’s right, includes things no one can argue with, there are a lot of shared global values) • Clickable menu for what language do you want it in • Map of earth, show images (stars flashing) of what people are using the service (see Facebook) • After the analysis, people have the right to write in. Unique insight • The first time you go on the computer, one could take a 5-10 question test (with the option to skip the test) to determine if the user is a visible, audible, or text learner • Have a cool section that people can read articles by their favorite bands and celebrities • When viewing the webpage, you would 1) first have the headlines, 2) the 5-6 news sources that are used in the comparison 3) additional sources (if the reader wants to review), 4) have a forum where readers can input their own news sources on the topic with a rating option on the quality and/or relevance of that input • Make it easy to tell someone about how to tell others about the website, "tell all my e-mail friends."
