One of the major considerations in looking at news delivery is how often, and in what method, the pages are updated. This is especially important in a World Wide Web environment, because so many mediums are available for updating the user on the information that they want.

The CBS News page continues in its mediocrity by providing only one source for news headlines, and then including no date on the page identifying the top stories. Phrases such as "late last night", and "yesterday" are used frequently, and there is no way for the user to find out what day the CBS Web authors are referring. This is frustrating, and makes for a poor source of information not only for news hunters, but for persons who are using the Internet to do research on current events. The CBS site does not provide anything in the way of up-to-the minute coverage. CBS does provide video clips on their web page, but since the clips are not identified according to contents, there is little incentive to download the media player to view them.

ABC and NBC do a much better job in covering current events. ABC's RadioNet makes use of an innovative Internet technology by providing for real audio tracks from newscasts. The audio tracks are the mechanism that ABC uses to give the user hour-by-hour information. ABC Radio News on the Hour, a clickable button on the top of the new page, provides a concise summary of what is going on in international and domestic news, and accomplishes the goal of keeping ABC extremely current on their web pages. NBC has no equivalent technology, and their pages are only updated daily.
