Most webmasters and bloggers need to report extensively in their sites to get visitors and drive more traffic as far as advertising,affiliates and publishing online news and content is concerned.
Bloggers with extensive backgrounds in newspapers and other online publication powerhouses consider competition to be tense when reporting especially with worldwide papers as is the primary source of original news. The New York times,Google and Yahoo news ,BBC etc are the major sources of news. They cover the world ,but be also another set of eyes and ears to be you as a prominent blogger.
It is now a competitive advantage probably clearer than it's ever been because many newspapers ,even really large online publications ,have pulled out coverage of international news.They have closed down their foreign bureaus and pulled back domestically. And as a blogger who is committed to do this kind of coverage for driving traffic on your site ,so you can see the role as in some sense being even more unique valuable right now.
Keep your readership up with so many sensational things competing for quick and easy news.Tremendous boom in readership on the website is obviously very high, news interests people right now,both because of the political and civilisation race and because of economical and global crisis.One of the things that can served you very well is that your website should bring perspective and context and clarity to these stories and make them available to readers almost instantly. When things are happening most people want to know about and are looking for. Especially at a time when there are things that seriously concern them(people).They are not only looking to be entertained ,but also need to be sensetised because this matters them most as it's very clear to them that it matters really. So what do you do? Try to think and find out through what are real questions that the readers may have, and how can you get at them and bring some constructive clarity to these issues.
Oftenly you may get unkind comments attacks on your blogs from specific people challenging your publications from your site. Remember the great feature of the website is that it enables to have a two way conversation. As a blogger you can write stories and originating blogs,but also you want people who read these stories ,to be able to interact with you as well as a club subscribed through your site ,to talk with you and to talk to one another.Thus how they can return to your site time and again ,giving them updates ,for that matter advertisers can squeeze for space in your site for their products.
You can't edit comments ,but you either allow or disallow them.And you only try to err on the side of more conversation than less because you mission is about conversation which most people like. However its not so easy because every news organisation is wrestling with this.
In addition probably you may respond to terms of service violation. When you get comments that you think are inappropriate ,please you can report that through the terms of service button on your site and you will look at that and take it down ,if it seems as though you should.
Because your site is there to drive traffic ,its for the people and more people. When reporting be very careful about poisoning the well by taking robust positions taking sides on your issues. Be it religious or political by becoming an extremist or radical stances sidelining other organisations. I think it is necessary to shed light where it can and with clarity and compassion in all the issues you are publishing on your site. I don't absolutely rule reporting to be very neutral.But they should take you somewhere.
At all costs avoid stand in the sense of taking an ideological position excludes the values or points of view of a huge part of your readers and is counterproductive. This might make your visitors feel better about your issues and trying to help shed light on some issues.
For the future of your website like these news organisations going through a strategic rethinking of what its business model is. Have strong emphasis on your issues, bookmark it on social sites ,make updates through email and within the online world ,too there is even video.So this is a kind of broadcasting. Podcasting is the same thing like a new version of radio online. That's the multi-platform way your site has to be there. One of the reasons it has to be there is that internet makes it relatively cost -efficient to deliver the news ,and it also makes it more relevant time -wise to drive more audience. Also have forums for discussing issues and you would get a great support. Spending more time on your site continue to let people get fresh stuff of what they want to think about it .Because it's the reader and the subscriber whom your site is directed towards and really you need to know what they want.
