WOOD TV8 Critique

The WOOD TV 8 is a NBC affiliate news station that broadcasts for Western Michigan, located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In order to keep viewers happy they have a website (http://www.woodtv.com), a twitter page (@WOODTV) and a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/woodtv).

WEBSITE

Wood TV 8's website is very user friendly and clearly lays out what is where. They have different tabs at the top of the website that drop down and give the user different options to which to navigate to rather than just have a tab with the singular option to go to for what the tab says.

On the homepage they have the main stories headlined at the top followed by a list of the most recent headlines as you scroll down the page. The website also uses many forms of media by incorporating videos as well to go along with the articles.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Along with their website WOOD TV 8 also features a Twitter and Facebook page. Both of the social media websites are easy to use as both pages post links to stories that are featured on their website.
