News Changes & Updates

[dogboy123]

I think the few new updates are great, they're really pulling out all the stops. Trying to bring news to suit everybody and I think it's great to see them going from strength to strength! Great changes Grig and Martin

Yes they competitions, radio and events seem to be doing a great job! A very good team all in all.

[Martin]

Thanks Ben and Rosie!

It's lovely to see people are already commenting on the articles too, it makes me so happy!

So far we have a very detailed guide on the Windows Phone 7 Series, Some juicy entertainment and tech news, and an album review, which seems to have sparked discussion!

Thanks to everyone who may have commented, and we hope that we can provide articles for everyone to enjoy. We aim to keep the Habwrecked section up to date too.

Yeh what he said. It's good to see news restoring itself slowly, but surely. We now have one of the biggest and strongest team of staff ever, and still got lots planned .

Hmm, you could say that. Although if they are getting people to voice their opinions/comment then surely that's good?

At the end of the day, news stories are reported on multiple media forms around the internet, however the difference is that they can be made unique.

We personalise our articles with our own opinion, and our own outlook on the news, which is not always how other sites may represent it.

The entertainment stuff won't be an exact clone of other sites, since it contains popular things which people may like to read. We had an album review which seemed to go down pretty well, and which people left comments for almost straight away.


Whilst I can understand your point, we felt it was better to at least try and offer something different whilst we have such a strong team. Most of the threads on this forum will be on other forums, yet people still comment upon them. The fact is that we are trying something different for once, and will aim to put our own stamp on it.


Of course we are not detracting away from the Habbo news, as that's essentially still the most important part of us, however I don't see how it can hurt to let our reporters have a go at a different style of reporting.


Also, the habwrecked stuff may not be to everyones taste, but you never know there may be someone out there who appreciates it, and there really is no harm in it I don't think.

Adding onto Martin's point:
We are not trying to be neutral or impartial, as most journalists are, we are trying to demonstrate a more opinionated style of journalism, which many in the traditional media try to avoid. Obviously we're not trying to copy BBC and Sky News, we're trying to give an insight from the Youth of today rather than having a fully-fledged adult giving us the news, why not see the opinions from the youth?

do sky news bring you updates such as jls duetting with rihanna? does sky news give you all the juicy celeb gossip such as ke$ha ripping britney spears? i don't think so! the entertainment news is going to be a lot different to sky news, they don't do entertainment news like we do.
