Photo from McClatchy:China rises blog Blog Layout
The Blog: China rises posted an article on March 7 about the new olympic village.
I thought this article was enrichened by the pictures.
It offered a visual aid to the desrciption given of these "beautiful " facilities that will hold the "16,000 athletes and officials will stay during the Games".
Opportunity to reflect
The blog used the uncovering of these facilities as a means to report on the anxieties felt by
journalists.
Minute details are being given about consturction and environmental measures but answers to the questions people really want to know are not being provided.
This point is backed with an example. The Sunday Times reported a couple of months ago that 10 workers had died during construction of the “Bird’s Nest” national stadium. Olympics officials did not respond for days.
Although the example was important, it would have been good if it was in-linked within the blog so I could have read the full article for myself. This is an aspect I thought this article lacked.
Authenticity
All of the McClatchy blogs have a sidebar box featuring:
- The bloggers name and some personal information.
- A link where you can send in your story ideas
- Ability to email the blogger.
- A link to read all of the bloggers online web writing for McClatchy.
