Recommended reading. A few links of interest to designers and developers of online news/information sites: Matt Jones: The Glass Wall. "A document detailing the design process behind the BBC homepage." Fascinating, and beautifully explained. Anne Conneen: The Best Designed News Sites Steve Yelvington: What are the best-designed news sites? "Good Web design is interaction design, not 'how it looks' design." Nathan Ashby-Kuhlman: Name your sections carefully. "Online editors might want to ask themselves whether their section names will still be appropriate 10 years from now." Columbia Journalism Review: Sixty-Seven Young Journalists and the Newspaper of Their Dreams. So what if I'm one of the journalists quoted? There are some good ideas here.
