After reviewing some of the sites on the list that JMC grad student and blogger Ryan Sholin had on his blog about basic media convergence and what news and internet is doing to the masses.
I thought the EveryBlock site had much promise to redefine the news mostly because of the way it has the search feature. It gives an overall broad vision of the news, however, it can also be divvied up and brought down to a more specific city or place.
The way the site was made, prepared people to be aware that there is news available in specific areas. However, I would have liked the site to have national or worldwide news on the homepage, which would make the site very well rounded as well as specific.
If this site was to get more national, even more, worldwide, the site would absolutely redefine the news and officially bring the news into the internet, the 21st century, and beyond and most importantly in one package.
