Article structure before I take over

Youth voice is pluralistic website. Then the main content of the website are articles. They write articles to express their opinion regarding different topics. My observation regarding the articles specifically is that they do not follow the regular article guidelines.
The length of articles are too long, 750 to 1200 words, and too detailed and with no use of images or videos to support the article. Although I have to say that they do not always follow the hot news of the week, they rather prefer to write an article expressing their opinion on a subject that they find interesting. Even though the articles have a good point of view and in my opinion the majority of the articles are very good, they do not follow the current news so that automatically means that it is difficult to attract people to read the articles and make the website more broadly known.

Moreover, the style of the articles is too serious and it comes in contrast with the name of the website “youth voice” because the authors take their job really seriously and not only write with difficult vocabulary and many times they use specific terminology that the meaning of them is not widely known but also most of the articles are about serious issues like the Turkish-Greek conflict regarding the Aegean sea from a geopolitical perspective (Prifti, 2020). This is negative because those serious topics combined with the serious style and the difficult vocabulary makes the articles unappealing to young people.
