The Los Angeles Times is California's leading newspaper.....covering LA, US and international news.
Still retaining its gothic header the los angeles times is a very good example of a printed publication having moved onto the web and all that incorporates....
The white background, choice of font and layout make it very easy to read.
To me, the use of black letters on white in the header visually echoes the printed version, this i believe is beneficial to the paper as its header adds recognisable gravitas to its web version as many of its web readers may also be readers of the print version.
As you scroll down the page you can view four articles per screen.
The quality of the photographs on the pages are high.
The layout changes some way down the main page going from a right column to rows that add greater space for viewing in a letter box style frame.
The site is well thought out and the news is easy to find and read and you can access
any page from anywhere on the site.
There is some advertising on pages...
I recently read that in order to survive, many newspapers want to reintroduce some sort of subscription fee....one possible format being discussed is subcribing to a package of content ...eg newspapers magazines music sports....etc for a flat fee...this might be similar to some of the tv content packages we now pay for.
Also on the site are many blogs....enought to keep you entertained and up-to-date.
