The Washington Post is a reliable news source with interesting stories that cover various. With hundreds of thousands of visitors to their site every day, the post is one of the most popular as well. Despite this, I believe the Washington Post could make numerous changes to it's website to attract more viewers, especially of the the younger generation. Here are some changes I believe the post should make to continue to be an attractive news source.
The website has a large following, but the younger generation has a shrinking attention span that requires news to be intriguing as well as informative. In order for this news to be marketable to the younger generation, the headlines need to be eye-popping. The post can do this by using italics or different fonts in order for articles to stand out. The headline also has to be easy to understand. Sometimes on the website the headlines can be somewhat confusing or take a second to understand.
I also suggest the post writes more about social media. Social media is a major component in today's pop culture. Though the post has accounts on almost all social media platforms, they don't often post about major events on social media such as new updates to apps, celebrities on social media and other interesting topics.
My last suggestion for the Website is to write more comedic articles. Information and entertainment are becoming closer than ever, and that should not stop on the websites of major newspapers. Writing comedic articles at otherwise serious topics can make the post seem more relatable. The most important thing for the post to do is to become more relatable to the younger generation, which I believe can be accomplished with these changes.
