What Do You Want on a News Website?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the information-that-matters dept.

SomethingBig asks: "The BBC is asking people to redesign their homepage, with the best design winning an Apple laptop. With news websites becoming ever more crowded and cluttered, what is really the most important information for a news organization's homepage? Should it contain local news? Traffic? Weather? What type of information would you want on the BBC's homepage (or CNN's if you're in America)?"

      I think a Page 3 Girl would be more appropriate. And British women would be fine. There are plenty of hot British women; see the list in the Wikipedia article. Or go to Page3.com.

    I want news, not sensationalism. Drop the misleading headlines and transparent opinion pieces.

    If you don't like slashdot, why not just come out and say it?
