The British are coming

Source

Summary

Two British newspapers are trying to find their luck in America, digitally. The websites of these two newspapers have been receiving more and more American visitors since they have begun advertising. The Daily Mail has reporters in America, especially in New York and Los Angeles, where they try to get the hottest news on the stars and reality programmes. The Guardian however gets more American visitors because of their more critical look on Israel and the Middle-East. Where for the Daily Mail this is a bit of fun at the side, for the Guardian it’s a necessity to lure more visitors to their website.

Reaction

I was scouring the web yesterday when I came up on a news website with a lot of photo’s, especially of Kate and of the News of the World scandal. Not long pieces of texts, but short lines and a lot of photographs. Having read all about the scandal in detail on the more serious websites (Guardian), I could now paint a picture of it with that evil red-haired woman. Why would anyone believe her anyway...brrrr...what a wi...wait a minute, Jennifer Aniston...naked...OK, that’s it! I’m bookmarking this site!
I can see why Americans like the Daily Mail: their Daily Meal of gossip and pictures, lots of pictures.
