Perth online war fizzles

The online media war in Perth is a fizzer. The much-hyped launch of Fairfax Media’s WA Today web site has delivered little that’s new, interesting or inspiring.

Look at the WA news section and it’s mostly stuff that’s commonly known, lifted from AAP or available from media releases.

WA Newspapers have been criticised for their web site, but the revamp looks pretty good albeit still lacking some features like commenting directly on stories.

I doubt WAN’s online revenue has taken a hit from the Fairfax challenge.
