For my JOUR 1550 beat assignment, I was assigned the Chicago Tribune. As one of the Windy City's most influential news journals, the Chicago Tribune offers a range of local and international news. It has many sections which appeal to all types of interests. However, in comparison to other newspapers' websites, I found the Tribune's online to be somewhat limited in terms of the amount of news it offered. However, it is still very useful for news on-the-go and the stories were very high-quality. It is very accessible the headlines are organized in a concise way so that anyone browsing through the site could be fully informed. 

The website does not throw a lot of news at you all at once, but the whole site is divided into numerous categories. This makes the reader really get into it if they are interested in looking up any news. Once you open up the page, it headlines mostly local news, but once you scroll down, it takes you into news which varies from entertainment to sports to business.
