News/Media Online - General

News and media online covers a range of different functional aspects and uses compared to offline: 1. Search engines Companies that wouldn't otherwsie have an interest in the news are increasingly putting it on their websites as search engine spiders love it (dates and times show your web site has been updated recently - they love dooyoo!). You can pay a company just to write articles for your web site for this purpose. 2. Length of articles Online they are generally much shorter, and in my opinion have a lack of information.
