WOWO's "Pretty" News

The Maven had heard that WOWO 1190 (and now on 92-3 fm) had made some cosmetic changes to their news presentation on wowo.com. At first blush, the pages load quicker and the content looks much cleaner. 
Another feature allows the reader to see who created the story. The Maven likes that.
As with anything new, there are still some little glitches to overcome. 


The Maven is not quite sure of the significance of the 'coding language/commands'. Perhaps it's meant to change the font or make the copy bold. 


The Maven applauds WOWO's efforts to improve their product, but like so much of what we are exposed to in the media, more effort has been put into style, leaving substance still lacking.

    As a student who just finished my broadcasting degree I find the mistakes in here unacceptable. Especially min-2014. Also does it bother anyone else that she copied her script straight from Word and posted it rather than changing it for the public to read?
