In the world of digital journalism, news websites are meticulously organised to cater to diverse reader interests and publishing schedules. The Wall Street Journal, for instance, features several sections, each dedicated to a specific theme or topic.
The primary sections of The Wall Street Journal include:
- News: Politics, World News, National, Local
- Marketplace: Coverage of health, technology, media, and marketing industries (Monday through Friday)
- Money and Investing: Daily coverage and analysis of international financial markets
- Personal Journal: Tuesday through Thursday, focusing on personal investments, careers, and cultural pursuits
- Off Duty: Published Saturdays in WSJ Weekend, featuring fashion, food, design, travel, and technology gear
- Review: Also published Saturdays in WSJ Weekend, focusing on essays, commentary, reviews, and ideas
- Mansion: Published Fridays, dedicated to high-end real estate
- WSJ Magazine: A luxury magazine supplement published regularly, covering luxury lifestyle topics
These sections serve as top-level content divisions, helping users navigate from broader themes to specific interests.
News websites often employ a taxonomy-based structure, defining categories and subcategories (sub-sections), acting like a table of contents and an index. Categories are optimised for user understanding with clear titles and detailed descriptions, while subcategories link to more specific topics within a broad category, helping organise the content in a hierarchical manner.
A category page on a news website typically functions as a "hub page," providing a central overview of a topic or category, links to child categories and related content, and additional descriptive content to engage and inform the user. Such hub pages go beyond a simple listing of articles or posts and may include explanations, useful resources, and links to detailed subcategories to help users quickly find what they need.
In addition to the sections mentioned above, the Special Pages section of a typical news website includes sub-sections for Technology, On the Road, Real Estate, Environment and Sustainability, Binondo, Transport, Gallery (Photos, Videos), Pets, and Pop.Life. The Special Pages section also houses sub-sections for Technology, including Gadgets, Computers, Business, Tech Plus, and Games, as well as a sub-section for Binondo.
The Special Pages section does not, however, contain sub-sections for Pop.Life, Gallery (Photos, Videos), Environment and Sustainability, On the Road, or Real Estate in the current paragraph. It is essential to note that the exact subdivisions of a news website depend on the particular news platform.
By organising their content in this manner, news websites aim to provide comprehensive coverage of topics while allowing users to easily navigate from broader themes to specific interests using categories and their child categories or subcategories. This structure ensures that users can quickly find and access the information they are seeking, enhancing their overall experience on the news website.
- The Personal Journal section of The Wall Street Journal, published Tuesday through Thursday, offers content that encompasses not only careers and personal investments but also cultural pursuits, making it possible for users interested in lifestyle topics to find relevant articles.
- The Special Pages section of a typical news website includes a sub-section for Sports, which might be missing in the current paragraph, further enriching the content with discussions about various sports-related topics, sometimes including reviews, interviews, and analysis.
