Factual or Satirical?

It looks like a typical news website except for the headlines of their stories is very hard to believe.

Most photos look real but some looked very fake and is obviously photoshopped.

What headlines are they sharing?
Their headlines can be deceiving, people who come across their stories might believe it. It's also good clickbait, their headlines 

Do you think this a Factual website or a Satirical website?
I believe that this is a Satirical website due to some headlines not being believable and being very humorous. 


What does the website look like?
It looks professional and the font they used for their logo looks very convincing, it looks like a font that's been applied in the newspaper.

What photo is it using?
The photos they were using looked like they took it themselves and looks real due to people being caught off guard or looked like it was taken right at the moment.

What headlines are they sharing?
The headlines they were using are formal and doesn't seem crazy or over the top.

Do you think this a Factual website or a Satirical website?
I think this a factual website the stories they were using are very recent and they upload every hour meaning that they are updated.


What does the website look like?
Like most news website it has a simple layout and has a nice logo that looks professional.

What photo is it using?
Most photos look credible, but it also looks like it was just taken from google image.

Like The Onion the headlines doesn't seem believable, for example:

Do you think this a Factual website or a Satirical website?
The headlines were dead giveaways that it isn't a Factual website.



What does the website look like?
The logo has a similar font as New York Time which I thought looked professional, however, the design of the website looked very colourful not like most news website and in my opinion looks very tacky and doesn't seem like a credible website on top of that there are a lot of ads on the side.

What photo is it using?
Their photos have the same layout as you would see in a magazine. Which show a picture of a celebrity that looked like one of their paparazzi took and zoomed in the particular part that relates to the story.


What headlines are they sharing?
They very clickable headlines that make people interested in their stories, sometimes they write a word down in all CAPS to really capture the reader's attention.

They update frequently and also doesn't have any bias or agenda since they take both sides and address it without adding their opinion into their article. Therefore I think this is a Factual Website.


What does the website look like?
The website has a confusing layout where it's unevenly divided by three sides.

What photo is it using?
The images they use mostly look like stock photos that you would see in google images.


What headlines are they sharing?
Most headlines use inappropriate language that doesn't come across as being formal.


Do you think this a Factual website or a Satirical website?
I think this is a Satirical website the headline gives it away because most news outlet wouldn't use language that they use especially if there are younger readers.


What does the website look like?
I found it pleasing to look like and very classy due to the colour choice of black, it also has a unique layout where the categories are on the side which very easy to find.

Some images looked liked it was taken professionally some looked like it has been taken by phone.

What headlines are they sharing?
They use formal language with perfect grammar.

This is a Factual website, they use formal language, give references, and doesn't seem like they don't have any bias or agenda.


What does the website look like?
It has a sport based news website looked to it where they usually use black and red as their colour theme.

Most photos are pictures of politicians being caught off guard.


What headlines are they sharing?
Their headlines seemed very formal but with a twist of humour.

I think this a Satirical website, some articles comes across as making of politicians that is not in a formal manner that Factual websites wouldn't do.


What does the website look like?
It has a simple layout where it's easy to read especially with fonts bigger than usual.

What photo is it using?
The photos seem believable, I haven't seen one that looks like a badly photoshopped photo.


What headlines are they sharing?
The headlines confuse me whether this website is a Factual or Satirical one, some headlines were written in a formal manner some seemed like a joke.


Do you think this a Factual website or a Satirical website?
In order to have full access to all of the articles you have to sign up and pay every month which makes is seem like a Factual website because why would people pay every month for false news.
