CBS Atlanta

Website:
I found the CBS Atlanta website boring. Since the college basketball playoffs are starting they have littered their page with "bracket challenge" advertisments. It really over powered the site. Also, the website only had one picture and little story on the home page. Everything was links to other stories. It was a lot of reading and really cluttered. If you did want to see a slideshow or video there were links on the right side of the page, but again you had to read and read to figure out where and what things were. There was no breaking news scroll, "new" headlines were noted by using the word "New" in orange next to the link. All in all the website scared me off a little bit. There was just too much at once.

Facebook:
Since I wasn't too impressed with the website, I didn't have high hopes for their facebook page. They had some stories on it, but I saw alot of other people making posts. One woman inparticular used their facebook page to vent about her unemployment and government aide. I found that very tacky and couldn't believe they left it posted. There was an agrument between her and a man about racisim and drug testing and government aide. It really took away from their facebook page. I am all for viewer input and letting your audience interact, but there needs to be some type of monitoring going on. I do like that they post often and get feedback on their news posts. Other than that it was a pretty basic facebook page.
