Yahoo! is currently the fourth most popular website in the world (and the second most popular for homepages). In the United States, it remains the go-to page for what the country is talking about. In addition to roundups of national and international news, sports, and business, Yahoo! prominently features a variety of water cooler topics, such as celebrity gossip and human interest stories. And as many of the top items trending on Yahoo! quickly make their way onto Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc., it is an interesting way to track what Americans are talking about at any given moment. For this reflection, you will visit at least three international Yahoo! sites to assess their national discussions. For example, what stories are most prominently featured? How do they balance hard news with lighter fare? How do they compare to what we would (or wouldn't) see in America?
Choose from three of the following Yahoo! sites:
Russia
Germany
Mexico
UK & Ireland
Singapore
Greece
China
Argentina
Italy
Australia
Japan
India
The Netherlands
