The news coverage and ways it is presented is reflected in these news sites content of news as the Straight Times Interactive focuses on the news around the Asean region with ample integration to international coverage for the purpose of presenting major braking news such as tsunami’s and earthquakes affecting regions within Asian continent and also braking news pointing to most talked of the town sports events. On the other hand, International Herald Tribune emphasizes their news coverage and presentation in terms also of international news coverage of world events that make a strong impact to people in greater society as well as distribution on such secondary subjects regarding arts, lifestyle of people and others. USA Today provides and delivers their news coverage presentation relating United States and foreign affairs matters happening in the US states, this online media focus less on international coverage as the others being mention unless if the news relates to US directly in every manner of the situation.

The International Herald Tribune, unlike Straight Times Interactive, access to their news information is absolutely free of registration so, it is easy for the audiences to go through and scroll on the news website as of USA Today; the process of the online news screening is just the same with Straight Times Interactive respectively. Thus, talking about their similarities, all three news web sites involves a diverse audience – their audience profile is indefinite of profile, all can cater to different range of audiences to relate their news and that the news sites implies the use of XML as it is an important factor for online media presentation and they uses flash animation, pictures and video in delivering news to people admiring the news flow and essence of information ways and its process of media success impacting positive values that captivates emotions of its audiences as these news sites is really an integral part of everyday shaping of life and living.  The three news websites tell and deliver their news to audience in terms of aspects as centralization, news structure, flow and temporality as examined to demonstrate how journalists and media struggle to reconcile news interests. These online news media latched onto the ability of the World Wide Web to illustrate news stories once left to magazines, newspapers and television news programs. The news sites had built virtual newsstands carrying up-to-the-minute headlines ( 1996) in moving towards online news production, how does the medium that enables interactive and flexible change the way news media disseminate information, initiate discourse to cultivate a readership and satisfy viewer’s interests.


 


One issue of these news sites is that news media have operated with a logic that treats news as a commodity that sutures audiences with established content and known sets of producers ( 1997) on patterns of news production and reproduction is important as changes in audience consumption and viewing patterns alter the news environment.  Thus, online news viewing is increasingly concentrated on name brands known from television or print (, although commercial efforts are supplemented by nonprofit organizations and Weblogs of amateur journalist reporting ( 2001). The sites have exposing the closure of online news dialogue that clarify tensions between news and commercial routines and show how some tenets of media carry over from old to new media. Specifically, online news practices may differ from those of older media in efforts to control over news content and audience attention. The ability of audience to approach and select online news must be considered. Additionally, these news organizations face a challenge “to balance the legitimate desires of the online audience for minute reports with the profession’s traditions of fairness, completeness, balance and accuracy” ( 2001 ).


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Online news sites are moving into the realm of electronic commerce while it is not as popular as electronic mail, reading news online and searching for information, online news users are involved in online shopping and making purchases. Like, USA Today Online have launched online auctions to connect buyers and sellers. The Herald Tribune’s online service has offer syndicated general-interest columns. Lastly, the online news now comes in spurts: stretches of hyperventilation about minor medical miracles interspersed with dramas, heart-stopping conflict on the brink of peace in Israel, the deadlocked presidential election. There is the availability of multimedia as it is evident through the use of audio, video, photographs and text images that has allowed the development of new content for online news more effectively. The actual choice of news items and choice of treatment are related to what is actually happening in the world, but it is also tied with priorities set in the news process. (1990)
