The New York Times |
The New York Times site manages to combine classic style
with managing a frequent onslaught of new web features, and
dropping the site’s pricey “Times Select” has helped to expand
the Times’ already massive Online readership. |

Washington
Post |
Not only do we like the design and the navigability of the
Post’s website, but we really love its database applications,
which provide interesting tidbits of information difficult to
find elsewhere. |

USA Today |
Social networking. Social networking. Social networking. Did
I mention that this site has the most robust social networking
features out of any of the newspaper websites we researched? Oh
yeah. And this site has social networking. |

Houston Chronicle |
We like the non-newspaperish feeling that this homepage
exudes. It’s significantly different from any other newspaper
site. Chron.com offers its users interactive features such as
comments and blogs, has a great RSS system made available right
on the homepage, and looks good while doing it. |

Denver Post |
The homepage of this site isn’t much to write home about,
but registering with the site automatically gives you your own
blog and your own photo gallery for uploading and sharing
photos. |

Fresno Bee |
Great homepage, interesting CrimeMap feature, and overall
just a solid site with lots of technology and an easy-to-use
format. |

Knoxville News
Sentinel |
I’m not sure a newspaper website could look any better than
this one. When we talk about de-cluttering sites and making them
look “clean”, this is what we mean. |

Austin American
Statesman |
We really like the unique layout and coloring of this site’s
homepage. We’re also giving this site points for allowing anyone
to blog and for linking to many of the site’s blogs directly
from the homepage.

Tennessean |
The blog-like feel of this site’s homepage helped it make
our list. We also like the strong presence of multimedia on the
homepage.

San Jose
Mercury News |
On this homepage, we like the simple layout of the article
headlines and descriptions. I also like the inclusion of the box
with blog headlines, user photos, forum titles, and podcasts
toward the top of the homepage. |
