M1

The website meets the users experience as it show real time news which means user can find out what's happening around that area and also hyperlinks to navigate. It also meets he users requirements by they have social media so if people cannot see on the webpage they can check out on Facebook and on the website you can watch/listen to BBC Breakfast and BBC Radio 5 live which means if users are at work they still can see the news however mainly elderly people will look at the news, so this suggest it is losing rating. BBC allow their users to have an account to they can keep up with today's news and if they have any world news they need to tell them, also BBC news has a link at the bottom of the page saying "About the BBC" and on that page it show how they were made and how the users can help with the BBC. They have a contact link so the users can contact if they have any problems about the BBC.

Weaknesses
