Joey BakerHow an NYT developer built a new way to read the news online
The ‘new’ interface is a great move for the Times. It does distinctly reminds me of http://newser.com and I think corrects one of the major flaws of current online newspaper design: the lack of pictures.
Any print designer will tell you: the eye goes picture → hed → cutline → deck. Why, when we’ve eliminated news hole problems online, have we mostly dropped the most important, eye catching, part of the story!?
