Lawrence.com

1. Lawrence.com serves it's town by giving details about what there is to do such as eat, movies to see, shows to see, and whatever. By doing this they serve the public interest by informing them on local events that are scheduled and don't try to bring news that anyone can find some place else. They are serving their market of the Lawrence area and no one else.

2. The appealing thing about this site is that it gives plenty of opportunities and ideas to take them up on. If I went to this school that is far from anywhere I would want to spend my free time doing fun things that are interesting like going to concerts and eating out and seeing movies, and this site has all of those things. It also has good music and entertaining videos.

3. Based on the content the target audience is definitely someone aged 16-30. Basically the common college student.

4. The writing style of the site is very conversational, but straight to the point. They write rather punchy, which is attention-getting and it doesn't seem to get bogged down with useless words.

5. The use of media on this site is...well, let's just say they used it a lot. There are two whole sections that use media, these being the video and audio sections. Not only that, pictures are always in the use at the site.

6. There is a wide community of users based on some of the sections I viewed. As for interactivity, there is a place to post pictures, a place to leave comments, and a place to look at other registered users, of which there are 535.

Overall, it looks like a good site for college students in that area to find out what the heck is going on in the social scene of shows, movies, and "whatever".
