Foote – Blog Assignment

I chose the Victoria Advocate website for my assignment. The Victoria Advocate is a daily newspaper serving Victoria, Texas and the surrounding areas in Southeast Texas. I am familiar with this website, because I have been trying to get an internship with them for a while.

The Advocate site, while very intuitive and advanced, is still solely for content for the paper. The top of the site even has links where you can manage your subscription to the paper itself.

However, the Web site is as full of interactive content as any other major newspaper. The Advocate produces its own video, as opposed to using TV content. There are also polls, reader commentary, and user-submitted content. There is even a place to set up your own blog. There is even a tag cloud for the blogs.

The Victoria Advocate is solely a site for the paper, but the paper staff creates its own Web exclusive content.
