Nicky Hilton in Charlie Brown Runway Show

The story I focus on this week named "Nicky Hilton In Charlie Brown Runway Show:2010 Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival" which was published on August 25, 2010 on Fashion Fame web site. The story was written by Andrew. There is the link of the story.

In the matter of content, the story is about Nicky Hilton walking Charlie Brown runway show during 2010 Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival. It shows that Nicky changed three dresses -- an aqua dress with a faux hydrangea headpiece, a sequined sheer tulle cocktail dress and a leopard print dress with turban at the show. The story also refers to the information such as the style of Charlie Brown runway show and Charlie Brown's feeling about Nicky attending the show.

There is video link about Nicky Hilton on runway.

With regard of values, the story has timeliness, because the event happened on August 25 and the story was released on the same day. Also, it has reliability and authenticity to some extend, because the content of story is similar with others about the same issue. In addition, the story may arouse widespread attention, because Nicky on runway is a rare event.


Last but not least, the online page has the main story, four photos, related links and message area. If it had some videos about Nicky Hilton at the festival, it would be perfect. But one thing to be mentioned is that the photos of Nicky on the runway are so beautiful. From them, you can see Nicky wore three different dresses at the catwalk.


In conclusion, I like the story, especially the photos.

PS:
I watched a show of "The 2010 Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival" last week. I saw a lot of beautiful girls and handsome boys there. I also saw various styles of beautiful clothing. That was an exciting experience. I think the festival will cause some influences on the fashion trends and consumers decision in Australia, especially to Sydney, in the near future. I will give you the link about the festival, which can help you find more information.

Eminem-Rihanna Collab Leads Billboard Singles Chart for Fifth Week

I read the online news story this week called "Eminem-Rihanna Collab Leads Billboard Singles Chart for Fifth Week" which was published on 19 August 2010 on EW.COM. The story was posted by Brad Wete. You can read it here.

You can watch the Video about "Love the Way You Lie" here.

With regard of content and structure, the story shows that Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna leads the Hot 100 singles chart again at the beginning. Then, it illustrates other singers and their songs from Top2 to Top10 in Billboard singles chart. Also, it points out the changes of the rank. This is simple story. However, one thing to be mentioned is that the story used a rhetoric question and an answer –"Looking for some major shake-ups on the music charts? Sorry to disappoint…"at the beginning. In this way, the fans can understand the approximate situation about the rank. Of course, this writing approach is able to strengthen the theme– Eminem-Rihanna collab leads Billboard singles chart yet again.

In the matter of values, the story has timeliness to some extent, because it can leads music lovers to grasp the trend of popular music immediately. Also, it has reliability and authenticity, because the content of story is the result of the Billboard singles chart. But the impact of the storymay not be very wide. I think that only music lovers and Eminem's or Rihanna's fans may concern about it.

Lastly, the online page has the main story, a photo and  message area. It does not include related links which can help readers to find more information. If the story had some links about the mentioned songs, readers could listen them and give their comment in the message area.

In conclusion, I think the story may help music lovers to catch the trend of the popular music immediately.

Leslie Cheung Teresa Teng Chosen as Top 20 Global Music Icons on CNN

The online news story I read this week, being published on August 14, 2010 on TVB News World web site. The title is "Leslie Cheung Teresa Teng Chosen as Top 20 Global Music Icons on CNN". The writer is Admin. Here is the story.

In terms of content structure, firstly, the story illustrates that CNN is conducting an online poll called the "Top Five Global Music Icons",on which Leslie Cheung and Teresa Teng are selected for the Top 20 world famous prominent singers in the past 50 years. Then, it pointes out that they are the only two Asian stars that were chosen and they are on par with western stars like the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna and the Rolling Stones. Finally, it shows the date of publishing poll results. Although it has only five sentences, it has clearly explained the issue. Of course, if it could explain more details such as who is the voters, how many people participated in the vote, etc., it would be more perfect.


In the matter of values, the story has timeliness, because the poll results will be out on August 25, 2010, but the storywas released on August 14, 2010. Also, it may cause great concern, because Leslie Cheung and Teresa Teng are superstars in China and they have a  huge number of fans.

Finally, the online page has the main story, two photos and the message area. It does not include related links which can help readers to receive more information about the event.

In conclusion, I think it is a short but clear story. And it,will lead widespread attention to the activity.

Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding Secrets Revealed

There are a huge number of interesting stories online. The title of the news story which I want to talk about is called "Chelsea Clinton's Wedding Secrets Revealed". It was published on August 2, 2010 on ABC News.com. This story was written by Linsey Davis and Jennifer Pereira. You can find the story here.

You can receive more information here.

In terms of content, firstly, the story summarizes the issue that Chelsea Clinton married longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky in a lavish ceremony at Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, N.Y., on July 31, 2010. Although there were no fireworks and few celebrities, the wedding was a beautiful and private affair that left no guest disappointed. Than, the story illustrates the composition of guests. Also, it introduces some details of the bride's dress. Finally, it gives the conclusion with the comment about the wedding from Millie Martini Bratten, Brides magazine editor-and-chief . Although the content is concise, it lacks some details such as the description of the most interesting part of the wedding, the detail introduction of the important person who attended the wedding, the expenditure of the wedding, and so on. The readers cannot receive more information which they want to know about the ceremony only depending on the story.

In the matter of values, the story has reliability and authenticity to some extent, because the content of the story is similar with others about the same issue. Also, it may lead to attention from the public, especial to the people who want to know the privacy of celebrities. Also, it has the timeliness. The issue occurred on July 31, while the story was released online on August 2.

In addition, besides the main story, the online page includs a video about the issue and related links, which can help readers to receive more information about the ceremony.
