If you access The Observer print edition online, you can access added features. What are they?
There are many added features of the Observer online than in hard copies. Firstly, online newspapers give you a bigger variety of news articles to read, whereas in a store it is more likely to be limited. In addition, Observer users can comment their opinion on the article and current news, making it have higher interactions, and you can also see what other people think. Observer readers online can also see older news articles if needs be, in stores they will be as up to date as possible. In addition, there are small speech bubbles on the newspaper that you can press on, and it gives you more information about the topic and give you more useful things about the tabloid.
This is The Observer's Twitter page. What do you notice?
The first thing that comes to mind when I see the page is that it has interactions. Despite only having one reply, it should gain more over the coming hours and its where people can interact and spread what they think of the situation. For example, the only reply is talking about how the user agrees schools should be shut down. Also, I notice that The Observer are posting the front page of tomorrow's article, giving it as much publicity as possible to maximise sales.

ReplyDeleteOnline: In your first sentence, you seem to have misunderstood the demands of the first question: what does the online edition offer that the print copy doesn't? Be careful with your English: 'making it have higher interactions' is not the correct expression. Instead, write 'online editions offer interactivity in the form of seeing what other readers think and expressing their own views'. Online access is an amazing resource that also allows a reader to access back copies and to cross-reference issues.
Twitter: you are correct to emphasise the interactivity and the audience pleasures of a shared community of like-minded people. Twitter also makes suggestions about writers that you might find interesting so that you could 'follow' them.
