Looks like smh.com.au has had a brush over, as has The Age.
I like it. It is much clearer than before, and the front page is really long. Interestingly enough the top left placement is a photo, which is not standard, and I expected a huge story, but it’s something I really don’t care about.
smh is also keeing the amount of text per article light – most often just displaying the headline, and just one line of text in the above the fold articles. I’m not so keen on this as it gives me less to grab on to, and the headlines just end up being lost in the crowd.
But still, the look is fresher and there is so much to potentially grab my attention.
