The one I chose is https://countryroadsmagazine.com/travel/getaways . Before this work, I had never heard about this magazine website and I think I understood why. Indeed, this website is really specific to two states in the United States of America: from the Mississippi Delta to the Louisiana Cost. Thus, the target audience for this site seems to be people from these two states who want to know about news, people from the United States of America who want to come to have a journey, and who don’t want to miss anything about culture. At first sight, it is a « niche website ». They define themselves as « culture reporting », covering events, cuisine, art, and travels, it proposes practical guides « places to stay », « thirty things », and description articles about musical events, the history of their culture…

I chose the « Catch your own fish, (and cook it) » article: https://countryroadsmagazine.com/travel/outdoor-adventures/11-catch-your-own-fish-and-cook-it/ . What caught my attention is that this article is really short, there are no tips, but promoting Louisiana's water as the best in the USA to catch easily best fish (America’s most productive fisheries). After ten lines of promoting their water, they add two tips: how to cook well your fish and when to come to fish the bull reds. Although we understand it is the best place to catch a fish, there is no proof of that except the photo of a little boy smiling with the fish he just caught. I'm sure that this is not the case for every article, but this one doesn't add value.
