1.) The news e-zine I found is http://www.opendemocracy.net/ . They are committed to human rights and democracy. They aim to ensure that marginalised views and voices are heard. They believe facilitating argument and understanding across geographical boundaries is vital to preventing prejudice.
2.) The news blog I found is www.topix.com/news/blogs . News stories continually updated from thousands of sources around the net.
These were both very easy to find on the Internet. The e-zine was easy to navigate and they offer a spectrum of ideas, from people who have actually lived through the events. I loved that they have what they call the 50-50 initiative. It builds a series of editorial projects designed to make open democracy a current affairs forum which is written, read, and used by women and men equally. You have the ability to challenge authors, question visitors, and express views in forums.
The news blog features top stories , local and international, politics,sports, and entertainment. They had a feature called the "News Wire", it lists all the latest results that are categorized as blog news. In their "news forum", readers can comment on a range of topics and give their views on other blogs as well.
Both sites covered the same topics and gave readers the opportunity to post their own opinions as well, but I much more preferred the e-zine. It was more effective and looked more professional. The news blog seemed unorganized and had too much going on, because of that reason, I would be more likely to trust the e-zine. In conclusion, I found both sites to be very interesting and educational but I have to admit I will probably stick to the television or newspaper for credible news.
I believe it still supports my original thesis, therefore I rate it a 5.
