The advent of the internet has made the flow of information in the digital age increasingly unstoppable. Events in one part of the world can be known by people in another part of the world in a very short time. Unfortunately, not all information consumed by the public is factual. There are always irresponsible parties who share fake news for personal gain.
This concern is also felt by the Communication and Information Department (Diskominfo) of Magelang Regency. The fight against hoaxes (fake news) is being pursued. For this reason, print media alone is insufficient to keep pace with the speed of information circulating online. Diskominfo requires a news portal website as a reliable source of information, particularly regarding events occurring in Magelang Regency.
With Tongkolspace’s assistance, the news portal website required by Diskominfo Magelang is no longer a significant challenge. The news portal website for Magelang Regency has been realized at beritamagelang.id.
Diskominfo Magelang Regency need not worry that this website will encounter issues or fail to attract visitors. The critical aspects of a news portal website have been brilliantly executed by Tongkolspace’s team.
First, the website design is responsive. Have you ever seen a website that looks great on a desktop but becomes disorganized when opened on a smartphone? That is the drawback of a news portal website that is not designed to be responsive. A news portal website must still function optimally even when accessed via a smartphone or tablet with a different resolution than the website’s display. Especially since the number of visitors accessing via smartphones is greater than those using desktop displays.
Second, the homepage design is appealing. Besides text, images are one of the key elements to attract visitors to explore further. The homepage of this website has been enhanced with images presented in a slider format. Equally important, each news category, popular news, and other important news columns are arranged in positions that are easily accessible to visitors at a glance.
Third, this website also serves as a platform for sharing information and news happening around them. Residents of Magelang Regency can contribute by submitting news articles that meet proper journalistic standards and are informative. News that meets the criteria will be shared on the website. As a result, the public will consume more reliable and factual information and news.
