News Ltd has replaced websites for three of its newspapers: Herald Sun; Daily Telegraph; Courier Mail. The new common design is modeled on the Perth Now site which launched three weeks ago – curiously in Perth where News does not have a daily newspaper. News Ltd websites for The Adelaide Advertiser and Hobart Mercury remain unchanged. Even though the roll out has not been national, this eastern seaboard launch demonstrates the national control of News over its online strategy compared to the more traditional News state managed approach. The new design is clean and easy to naviagte. I particularly like the opportunity to comment on the new design at their blog.
