News sites

SMH presents with a lot of information all at once. It's set out in a way that kind of makes you think theres tonnes and tonnes of informative information. But when it comes to the articles their less than engaging. I mean it's good but I just find it a little absent for some reason.

The Conversation is much better laid out and the articles are informative and indepth. It feels like a news article rather than just a recount. The Australiainstitute is rather minimalistic. Comprehensive articles though.  The Global Mail is really really comprehensive. The information is both factual, entertaining and insightful.

The Telegraph is similar to SMH in that it presents with a lot of info but without interesting and insightful articles. The ABC is comprehensive but brief. The Huffington Post is short but sweet. They get to the point, its comprehensive and is insightful.

Those are my opinions on the news sites. I think they all represent a certain type of information consumption methods as they are set out differently for good reasons.
