Online

Looked at the following websites:

1. The Citizen Online

2. News24 Online

3. Media Club South Africa

4. The Sowetan Online

5. eNCA Online

6. Official Government website

7. Mail & Guardian Online

8. The Daily Vox

• Most sites were copy heavy, especially sites attached to old media houses such as The Citizen

• Most online publications were disjointed and incoherent from one another

1. There was not one singular thread that tied articles together

2. This was endemic across all the ‘major’ sites3. Articles either concerned themselves with the

fashion of the day or hard news but never cross-pollinated

4. Few listicles or infographics on these sites5. Very difficult after SONA to navigate to relevant

stories

GOVERNMENT• Government website was limited at best

1. It gave a brief description of SONA

2.Moved traffic to an embedded YouTube video of the proceedings

The Best Sites The Daily Vox entertained with a more

light-hearted approach, using meme’s to convey their message

eNCA used a humour piece to break up the serious content, although it was lost in all their other posts of the event

Only site to apply online practice was Media Club South Africa

i. They broke down the speech into relevant parts making it easy to read

ii. Published an easy to understand info graphic, pictured left
