Anger in HK over Manila hostage deaths

WS RESOURCE


http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1334712/Anger-in-HK-over-Manila-hostage-deaths



I really like the design of the SBS website because the light blue makes the whole website looks very vivacious, even it is a hard news sites. Coupled with the news story is not a photo related to the event but a video, which makes the audiences get to know and understand the news easier. The highlights under the video linked to more information contribute the perfection of the original intention of the news.



This is a news shocked the whole Chinese world. And news about this event spread almost all the media vector and all kinds of activities about denouncements and mourn are held in both the cyber and real world.

The perspective of this news is no other than writing about all kinds of boycott activities, which gives a side description of the significant influence of this hostage death. Such as “The Hong Kong government raised a "black" travel alert for the Philippines, urging against all travel to one of Southeast Asia's most popular tourist spots.”



Voices from the entire world suspect that this tragedy could definitely be avoided if it were not for the failure decision of the Philippians policemen. And nothing could be made to compensate the lost of the families.



After the description of the process of the tragedy, the news angle changed to the governments’ attitude about this death and the detailed illustration of the moral action of the survivors, which can greatly impressive the readers because at this moment how to deal with the post processing seems became the focus of the public.



This news story seized two important aspects of this hostage death with an overall introduction video help to induce the constant attention about the factoids. And under the article there are several ways to share the whole article make sure the effective communications.

ABC NEWS lipstick? It could be full of beetle juice! (share)

你的唇膏里有甲壳虫汁吗
Do you love your bright, red lipstick? It could be full of beetle juice! After being boiled, dried out and crushed, cochineal beetles produce an enzyme that creates a beautiful crimson color that can be used as a powder or liquid called carmine to add to lipstick. Beetle juice can be found in more than 300 lipstick products, including lip liners, lipsticks and mascaras. Pictured here is a Dogbane leaf beetle。

The following are colours which are recommended to avoid: CI 45425, Brilliant Blue FD&C (CI 42090), Acid Yellow 23 (CI 19140) and Sunset Yellow (CI 15985). However, there are so many questions hanging over synthetic and coal tar colours that it is certainly not exhaustive.


The most common brands of lipstick, like Maybelline, Cover Girl, and Revlon, are produced using ingredients that are questionable at best and horrifying at worst. Natural makeup companies offer safer, healthier varieties of lipstick, but they are harder to come by and often more expensive. If your makeup bag contains a tube of conventional red lipstick, here's what you're unknowingly ingesting.

Very different from the simple and clear style of the website designs of CNN and BBC, the website of ABC international news seems very “colourful”, however, from an other perspective, it also can been seems as a promiscuous combination of all kinds of news stories. And the main colours of the website-dark grey and dark blue are not so apparent for highlighting the main story. As a popular design almost all the news website would place the classification column under the title of the website, and in the ABC‘s case, it then followed by not the main story content but by a series of clips of hot news videos, which may lead to a eyes confused.



In the other hand, a significant point of the website worth to mention is it has a very close connection of the other hot-button websites, such as the facebook, twitter and email, serving as a good way to enlarge the news popularity as more and more people can share and save their favourite news story to their personal space.



After news title, the author use a sentence to summary the news story itself, simple but eye-catching by using a specific number, which greatly induces the curiosity of readers to move on.



A photo of the scene about the traffic jam makes the whole story more vivid, and in the description of the photo, the news content was also highlighted



Traffic jam is a very common phenomenon in most of countries and seems has no news value, however, in the very beginning of the story it gives a introduction of the whole news, which at the same time , can be seen as a introduction of the specialty of the this news. In the story, the author used a wide rage of numbers to show the serious of this traffic jam and make the news more convinced. Besides, the detailed illustration of” walking around, or playing cards and chess” the traffic jam makes the whole news more interesting and impressive.
