Online news and journalism that exists today in South Africa
As a journalism student I learn a lot of stuff every day. Journalists work in many areas of life, finding and presenting information. We are men and women who present the information as news to the audiences of newspapers, magazines, radio or television stations or the Internet.
The three different news websites in South Africa that I will be reviewing
· Pretoria News Online
· SABC Online
· The New Age Online
Pretoria news
Pretoria news is an independent newspaper. It is in a print format. It does not cater for all people, it has certain people it caters people from the ages of 18-40. The multimedia that it uses is print. The edition is enhanced with the latest digital tools, including RSS feeds, social networking, blogging and much more. It also has an interactive radio which informs us about the latest stories. Pretoria news lacks the use of videos. A lot of people who are reading the Pretoria would want to see what they read. It also focuses more on business news but not business news of the government. In the Pretoria news the stories are long and they can bore the readers, sometimes the readers don’t want lot of information as it can shifts away their concentration.
SABC Online
The SABC’s core business is to deliver a variety of high quality programmes and services through television and radio that informs, educates, entertains and supports the public at large. The SABC’s main focus is everything that happens worldwide, be it business, sports, entertainment and worldwide news. SABC should have more than 3 television stations. It has been existing for a lot of years even today it still has a lot of radio stations that the television stations. It uses the multimedia elements such videos, audios and all social networks. http://www.sabc.co.za/wps/portal/SABC/SABCHOME
The New Age Online
The New Age is the government-run newspaper; most of its news is about the government. The New Age has become in of the top newspapers in South Africa. The elements of multimedia it uses are; blogs, videos and you can also listen to the news online. It also has a free online radio. The New e should also focus on the international news. It’s so frustrating and boring to always read about what is happening in the government.

In the New Age Online there are photos, audios and videos
