Site of the Day for Monday, November 9, 2015
BBC Trending
Today's site, from BBC News, offers a roundup of the stories circulating online
which are generating the most interest. Gentle Subscribers will find national
borders are no bar to compelling reports of twitter attacks, viral videos, and
Facebook revelations.
"The BBC bureau on the Internet. Reporting on what's being shared and asking
why it matters."- from the website
With the BBC's notable global reach, their Trending site reports on stories
which cause a notable stir wherever they happen. From the Twitter protest in
Brazil over the harassment of a young girl, to the error in judgment displayed
by a Native American activist in his choice of Halloween garb, the news
articles pull no punches in zeroing in on the stories popular interest is
tracking. Frequently accompanied by a brief Flash video clip, each story is
introduced with a photo, often blurred to maintain discretion, and opening
lines designed to lead the reader to follow the story link. Updated as fresh
stories overtake the old, the site also provides links to its magazine section
with its collection of more leisurely articles.
