The
Visayan Daily Star is a
newspaper that covers
news and
events happening in the Negros
Island in the Philippines. The island is comprised of the provinces of
Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental. A
few years ago, it started its online edition that caters to the citizens of Negros around the world.
In addition to this, Filipinos who live in other provinces read the
online edition to keep abreast of events in this beautiful island, which is the
fourth largest island in the Philippines. The online edition (www.visayandailystar.com) covers
most, if not all, of the articles of the print edition. The site is simple which counts for easy
readability. Plain white background on
its pages enables the reader to browse through the articles without much
disturbance on the eye in terms of color, décor, and pictures. Because the site is simply designed, it
delivers its purpose in a more effective manner. The site is an electronic copy of a local newspaper that covers one island in
the Philippines, but it surely has a lot of things to offer: headlines that carry the daily goings-on in
the island,
business pages, opinions from the editor and various well-respected
writers, sports, police beat, people and events, and a lifestyle section. A directory in each section makes news access
easier even if one can scroll down to read the rest of the section. The articles are written by writers who have
years of experience in the field of journalism.
Just like its print edition, the online edition is written in the
English language. As an added
attraction, a link to its Sunday edition, Star Life Sunday, is included in the
site.
