nsnsports.net Critique
North-East Sports Website is a great tool for those looking to find information on teams news, updates, and scores. They do a lot of things great on this website. They have archive footage of most games from a lot of the teams around the NEK. They have all Vermont teams news and stats. There is a lot of information that you wouldn't be able to find on many school websites. Some things that the website needs to improve on are it's technical aspects. Sometimes video doesn't load, not all stats are up, doesn't always load. All in all, the website has huge potential to be a tremendous tool for viewers and reporters across the state, it just needs more time and effort.

ESPNBoston.com Patriots Blog Critique
ESPNBoston is a newer ESPN website that is more localized about Boston Sports. They have 3 other hyper-local sites including ESPNLosAngeles, ESPNChicago, and ESPNDallas. When we are looking at ESPNBoston, we see that they have specific blogs that relate to each team. The one I am going to look at it the New England Patriots Blog.
Patriots Blog on ESPNBoston.com has all the latest news about the Patriots. They have roster updates, transactions, depth charts, injury updates and a lot more. They do a great job of giving an in-depth look at all of the most up to date Patriots news.
Something they don't do very well is explain things sometimes. Even a sports fan such as myself doesn't understand all of the injury information they throw out there. A Sprained MCL or contusion of the leg means nothing to me, so maybe they could simplify it to the body part and how long they are going to be out for.
Another thing that ESPN specifically could do is more some more hyper-local websites. What if I was a Cleveland Browns fan? What if I was a St. Louis Blues fan? I wouldn't be getting the same kind of insight as I am here in New England. ESPN has the resources, and they should think about adding more of these new websites.
That's all folks,

The dog's owner was issued at ticket for a leash law violation, and the dog was quarantined for ten days.
This is the second time the mixed chow has bitten a small child.

CBS Atlanta Critique
CBS Atlanta does a great job of laying out their website. It doesn't seem cluttered as they try to mix in story links with videos, photos, advertisements.
Next, their stories are not only relevant to Atlanta, but readers from outside of the area can also read up on news that affects the entire country. They do a good job of separating all of all the different types stories from sports to entertainment where everyone can easily find what they want.
One of the few items I do not think is good about the site is the lack of the use of space that they have on the page. The page is very skinny and makes it very difficult to find some things as you have to scroll up and down the page a lot to get to different sections of the site.
Otherwise, the site is great and useful not only to those in Atlanta, but people across the country.
