Why I read nytimes.com (and not washingtonPost.com)

November 23, 2008 · 1 Comment

They are both great papers, but the former has an advantage over the latter: nytimes.com recognized that I am viewing it on a mobile device and switches the page to make it readable to me. So does WSJ.com and the GlobeAndMail.com. Not to mention talkingpointsmemo.com.

I think any major news or business magazine or newspaper needs to do this ASAP or lose readers in the process.

    And the Washington Post has one of the most poorly laid out online media sites. Cluttered, hard-to-navigate, ugly.

    Their goal seems to be to pack as much text and links as possible without thought to design or functionality or graphic appearance.
