Successful digital writer - The New York Time

With over one hundred years of printing history, keeping up with times, one of New York’s greatest news paper has gone digital. Not only is this website a wonderful source of information, it is also very well structured and concise. The news articles and reports are presented with the highest level of efficiency and sophistication. This website does a great job at catching the reader’s attention because it is neither repetitive nor boring, it is actually entertaining and challenging while easy to explore. In addition, the site provides the readers with a large variety of choices and features that cater to basically the interests of people from all walks of life.

The New York Times website continuously undergoes updates and modifications. A lot of readers have expressed their opinions, criticism, and suggestions through the years allowing the site to grow and improve. I feel it a little out place for someone like me who is not an expert editor or blogger, to attempt to change such a prestigious and successful website. However, there are two thing that if left to my whim I would change in an instant about the site. I want to explain that this is only from a reader’s point of view only. I would first separate the ads from the news, probably by confining all the advertisement to the classified section. Secondly I would eliminate subscription making it completely free for all users alike. Other than these two unrealistic modifications I think the site it is a great site.
