Personally as a writer for NewsLINC I find NewsLINC to be well done, made obvious due to the fact that NewLINC was recently judged as best in Northeast U.S . It is simple to navigate through with tabs being easily established for defining what area you are reading a story about. Since NewsLINC focuses mainly on the NEK the dropdown menu that is labeled "Around the NEK" is useful to find stories that are happening in the area. But, News7/NewsLINC does cover stories that happen in other parts of Vermont/New Hampshire that affect the NEK hence that is where the Vermont and New Hampshire tabs come in to play. Weather and Sports are easily spoken for themselves and the special coverage tab is a nice touch because the three tabs in the dropdown are big and key things that go on and that are covered by us in the NEK.
I also like how all the most recent stories are always on the front page regardless of how big or how significant the story was. Another nice touch is that the website teases what is coming up on the 5:30 newscast.
One thing that I think that could be improved with the website is the Twitter feed. I think that it should be showing live tweets that the NewsLINC account tweets but also connect it to any of the VCCJ reporters professional VCCJ accounts as well.
