the P-I gets a makeover
seattlepi.com gets a makeover
A few months ago, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer stopped printing newspapers, shed staff, and moved to an online-only publication. This weekend, they unveiled a new design and now the look of their homepage better matches their status as a web-based organization. Yes, the click-hungry photo galleries are still front and center, but the overall feel is a fresher, more pleasant, and engaging. There are bigger pictures, cleaner organization, better integration of the various staff, reader, and contributor weblogs, as well as lots of gadgets that “surface” tweets, feeds, and other offsite content.
For a full rundown of all of the changes, new directions, and goals of the makeover, have a look at Michelle Nicolosi’s full description. [bigblog]

Fail.
does it really count as a “rip-off” if both papers they’re both owned by the same company?
