The New York Post is a daily newspaper in New York City founded in  1801. This newspaper page has a format with different sections well distributed. However, my first impression of this page was if I was reading a page coming from a comic movie. I could not take the format of the page serious. The fact that it includes a section called Page Six to talk about celebrities gave the page a less credible image. The news report I read about was the phenomenon El Niño forming by February.

NBC News is the news division of the American broadcast television network NBC, formerly known as the National Broadcasting Company when it was founded on radio in  February 21, 1940. When I looked through the webpage, it was well developed. The news reports were easy to find. It was well divided by sections for any person's interests . It updates every hour with a lot of information and videos to make it more dynamic to read/watch. The news report I found was about the GM (General Motors) crisis.

Also, the news source talks about the intervention of President Trump. He promised to give economic support to the company when he was a candidate for the presidency. But now, he ...

The institution includes nine research centers, nineteen museums and a zoo and has coined the title of “the nation’s attic” due to the 154 million items that it holds. The Smithsonian receives 30 million visitors annually that receive admission free of charge. This specific article speaks of an innovative idea for the flu vaccine. Normally with this vaccine, people are injected with a dead strain of the virus so that their immune system can create the antibodies needed for the real thing. This becomes hard sometimes, however, because the influenza virus evolves quickly, and it is a rather aggressive approach for people who might ...
