It's not "bosses v. designers", it's a newspaper failing to grasp that when you put a newspaper online it doesn't have the same visual constraints a printed newspaper have. Either that, or it's the newspaper totally getting that they do need to look like that to not confuse the heck out of the large constituency of readers that are slightly older and less tech-savvy than the Reddit crowd.
But yeah, I'm with you, I'm pretty far down the procrastination list before I open a newspaper web-front-page.
- pgrote 13y agoI wonder how much of thinking in the past affects more of of a newspaper's thought process on online? For instance, NY Times insists on using the delivery model for charging for online access. Additionally, the local newspaper here tries to use every new shiny toy they can. At the moment, it's auto play videos. lol
- jaynos 13y agoI'm a fan of print newspaper layouts so the closer the digital product can be to that, the better. This layout (as opposed to a list format)makes browsing and discovering articles outside of my normal focus areas much easier as the headlines don't all blend together. I'm not sure what the best layout would be, but for a newspaper, the NYTimes current style is better than a Hackernews style list.
