I think feministing.com does a really great job of getting their point across. They don't use any elaborate design on their page so when a reader goes on to the site they focus on the issues the writers are trying to convey. The fact that the background is white and there is nothing elaborate on the site shows that the writers only care about one thing and that is trying to get the issues they feel passionately about out to the world and make the world see their disagreement or agreement towards that issue. Feministing.com doesn't just focus on one issue though. They focus on many different types of issues which I believe helps their site establish credibility. People want to see different issues going on in the world, they don't want to just hear about the same one over and over again which is why i think feministing.com actually does do something for the readers.
While reading feministing.com I believe that this website effects people's knowledge, ideas, and values. The one post that caught my eye was the post about women hating their bodies. The idea that goes through pretty much every women's head is that they hate their body and they want to change it. Reading this post could really help women see why they shouldn't hate their bodies and why they shouldn't follow what society believes is the "perfect" body. Another post that caught my eye was the girl wearing the hijab and holding up the sign saying "racism is racism." A lot of people have different values dealing with racism. This post could really change people's view points on racism and how it affects so many people in this world. Overall, I do believe this website does a really good job of actually doing something for their audience.
