Nuclear Threat Initiative
The Nuclear Threat Initiative is a
nonprofit organization that has a mission
to strengthen global security by building
trust and transparency that are outlined in
the Non-Proliferation Treaty. At first
glance, I noticed the layout of the website
is clean and inviting with various colors of
white and light blue. The website is built
around a blog style that allows real time
information to be easily located and
displayed. I like this because it doesn’t
make the website stagnant and allows the
reader to find updated information
extremely easy. What caught my eye
initially is the very top navigation bar
under “Glossary.” This is a glossary that
is independent of NTI and provides the reader with various terms and definitions that directly
relate to the websites content including WMD. Some of the terms come from the various
treaties, weapons that cause mass destruction, and other miscellaneous terms. As do other
websites, the NTI website provides an “About Page” that describes the company and its mission
statement. Not only does the website provide up to date information, but also provides links to
the two major social websites such as Twitter and Facebook. I like that this website likes to
interact and engage its followers as social networking provides the vehicle for communicating
between the company and its readers. NTI also provides video content as the world is shifting to
this type of medium for information such as YouTube videos. The profiles of different counties
are very informative. If you are interested in a country, such as Iran and its history as far as
WMD is concerned, you just click on the country’s flag and the information for that state are
displayed. A quick overview of that country is explained to include information related to
Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical warfare. Some of the information is about the state’s position
on WMD and where they stand on the NPT. The NTI website is a very informative site that
covers a wide range of information pertaining to countries and their involvement in WMD. It
covers all NBC threats and provides in depth analysis on a wide range of topics in the form of
articles, reports, testimonies, speeches and opinions.
Comment [HS1]: Here is one example of what one would look like…..put each website on a
separate page….keep your review to one page for each website
Comment [HS2]: Use pictures that catch the reader’s attention
Comment [HS3]: Highlight the website strengths that you have identified And don’t forget to also highlight what the weaknesses are or what areas they could have covered better.
