We love the general feeling of the NYT site, which is pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. The site is loaded with great features, and, as of August 7, the website dropped its paid-for content, TimesSelect, which is definitely worth bonus points.

The Post’s website has been a huge success, and is one of the best examples of newspapers creating an online product that is significantly different from its print product.
3. USA Today

7. Fresno Bee
9. Nashville Tennessean
