While the local newspaper I read offers pretty good real time news in regards to extreme weather events, such as storms, Scott Karp found The Washington Post’s recent coverage of, and access to, news of a local storm left much to be desired.
While he feels The Washington Post has a very helpful weather blog, which offers useful, real time information, it is near nigh impossible to locate, illustrating their “print mentality” when it comes to presenting information in an online format.
The useless article with no real-time data and no links was written for the PRINT newspaper. And the homepage is edited to match what will be important in the PRINT newspaper. And the navigation assumes I think like I do when I’m reading the PRINT newspaper. Want local news? Go to the metro SECTION.
