The Washington Post offers readers a wide array of stories as well as options on how to receive their news, with such apps such as Twitter, Facebook and RSS.
It’s an attractive site with minimalistic advertisement. The site does a good job at keep the focus on the news and not the advertisements, which can only be found on the right hand side of the site.
The Washington Post looks official, which in my opinion can make it appear more credible, it also has adapted to society’s demands on technology by offering photo galleries and videos to accompany it’s stories.
Such is the case with a story titled, “After 9/11, flight attendant still feels up in the sky,” in which the Washington Post not only offers a story through text, but also includes a video of a visitor at the Pentagon Memorial, a photo gallery and links on continuing coverage about the subject.

The newspaper is very useful. An attractive feature that it has is that you don’t have to navigate past the home page to find what you are looking for. However, since it does seem that most of its content is found on the home page, it can also appear overwhelming.
