Google News and Huffington Post are great News
aggregators, since they both publish information from entertainment, sports,
politics, and more. However, Google’s News provides information in an organized
manner, this area is located on the upper left side of the web page. The
topics are organized from the top of the screen to the bottom. Huffington’s
post has a drop down menu that is not appealing when you visit the page. The
page also has text that is going across it.
When I compare Google News with Huffington Post, Google seems
to be more organized. The topics are on the left side of the screen and the
top story is located on the main page.
Huffington Post main story is on the front of the page, so if you accidentally click on one of the topics of the page, the main story will be covered with a drop down menu. This creates a distraction in the page and will cause users to leave the page.

Google News provides information on local issues, which I
think it’s important to keep users coming to your page again. Having local news
available it’s important because people need to be aware of what’s happening in
their area.
On the other hand, Huffington Post does not have local news available instead it has Regional and National News. Also, the page makes it difficult to click on the actual tap because if you don’t click on the right spot you automatically get a drop down from a different subject.

The drop down on Huffington Post are distracting, if the
curser moves over a subject the main story is covered with new information. The
drop down has a large font and once it is down there are two columns of
information to choose from. Huffington’s Post “floods” the page with pictures
to make the web page seem entertaining, but instead I believe it creates too
busy and less professional.
Google avoids drop down, instead they create an arrow that allows you to click on it, and this arrow is optional. After clicking on the arrow there is a brief description of the topic.

Google News web page is more appealing and looks more
professional. The way their page is organized enables their users to choose
their main topic without confusion. The web page is well organized and does not
have drop down menus, which can distract users from focusing on the main use of
the mage. Huffington’s Post page is disorganized and is full of pictures that
can distract users.
