Thoughts on the redesign? I’m not sure how I feel about it yet but I didn’t particularly like the old design so I don’t mind something new. It looks a lot more conventional now, similar to major news outlets like The New York Times, Reuters, Associated Press, etc.
It is interesting, as SMH is headed down the same path as news.com.au (at least for A Sydney centric news site) focussing on sport, celebrity goss and going and extra step by locking news behind paywalls and cookies… I am guessing this hasn’t worked out too well for them
