Much ado about news websites
It’s not surprising there’s been a lot of attention on news websites lately with the US election. Smashing Magazine has just published Newspaper Website Design: Trends And Examples. Although the article tracks some obvious trends disappointingly it doesn’t discuss personalisation and the likes of news.com.au and the BBC online.
Elsewhere there’s been some interesting aggregation of newspaper front pages during the US election:
- Obama grabs headlines
- Andy Clarke’s Post election day news
I’m a little surprised they missed the impressive EL PAÍS.com design.
I’ve just discovered Poynter Online publish screenshot galleries of news homepages everyday.
“View screenshot slideshows to see how broadcast, print and national Web site handle the day’s news.”
