 The very catchy side of BBC is its blog maintenance...You would love this segment wherein the blogs of eminent personalities are segmented according to the genres. Columns are many on BBC site.

 Every passage in BBC follows with its descriptive videos and photos.
The separate row for "WORLD IN PICTURES"are the collections of some of the finest snapshots by the photojournalists of this media house.

 Genres of CNN are:NEWS AND BUZZ,FASHION AND STYLE,A CLOSER LOOK,AROUND THE WORLD,MOST POPULAR ,with featured SECTIONS:SPORTS,TRAVEL,STYLE,MONEY. The "WATCH IT ,PHOTOS YOU SHOULD SEE "etc are the sections that's quite eye catching.

 NEWS 18 with its bar on with: HOME|INDIA|POLITICS|VIDEOS|TECH|MOVIES|CRICKET| NEXT|BUZZ|SPORTS|PHOTOS|LIFESTYLE|
Its a very precise and to the point site .It has its hot and trending news segments followed with detailing of the genres specified on the task bar.
The photo-wall and video-wall areas is a gallery with details of the researched topics and news.
