they changed their design to 2015 style. everything's really big and blocky and gradients are highly looked down upon

great, more stark white with thin fonts. gently caress this trend, it's garbage for readability

Was about ready to post this because cnn was like the last non-obnoxiously readable news website left and this new design is somehow more of an abortion than MSNBC's

it's still more internally consistent than foxnew's though, which has a new look half-deployed so when you open articles it's random chance if you'll get their old style or the new one

if you want to see breaking news for an area, go to twitter and use a search query like "near:80202 within:5mi"

one of our project options last yaer was something like this, it was meant to be an app used by reporters that trawls twitter looking for relevant breaking news and tell them about it

twitter is really cool for this kinda stuff. i see a fire in the distance? jump to twitter and instantly see like 20 different angled shots of it and know where it is. ownage

it allows them to do overly busy imagery/design and grayscale it, then whatever you're moused over POPS IN COLOR so their design interns get to do lots of work but they don't make readers eyes bleed

what was the reasoning behind having the sidebar here top aligned with the main article title?



having that text in a solid block diagonal to the big picture looks really 'off' and means that the words beneath it don't align with anything except themselves. i suppose more news articles will go down the side to fill the empty space but it'll still look a bit funny
