• The platform I wish to see my research paper published on is a news platform like NBC news streaming website or an international news platform like Reuters.
• On the NBC news streaming website, you can get live, latest stories and breaking news on NYC, the US and the world. However, Reuters is a well-established news agency that has been around for more than 100 years, has a wide viewership and has a bigger international audience. Both sites bring news coverage on salient topics that are affecting populations in different areas of the world for example the Israel-Hamas war, US political news, business and health. Reuters even have a section for Entertainment and lifestyle as well as Technology.
• I believe these two news agencies target a wide mature audience who can find content to suit their interests. I say an adult audience because the articles are very in depth, well-written and sometimes difficult to read.
• The length of the articles on these sites are typically around 500 words although some articles can be longer.
• The tone in the articles is serious.
• The diction used in the articles is formal and academic.
• Evidence presented in these articles are usually data, quotations as well as interviews.
• The websites for these news agencies are very visually appealing. NBS news and Reuters have pop-up windows on the main screen to show you alternative news articles and videos you may be interested in. The sites are clear and easy to manipulate.
• I think this can be a great forum to reach my audience because college students should be engaged in reading or watching news that affect us day to day and these websites are free so there is no cost attached to assessing the articles and information.
