When Charles first posted previews of the S-S redesign, I happened to be in the midst of a two-week vacation in the Fort Lauderdale area. For the first several days, I bought the paper every morning, then just stopped and looked for the Miami Herald instead (unfortunately, all of their boxes north of FTL seem to be ignored). There was nothing wrong with the old S-S design. There’s nothing wrong with the new design either, except for its ability to convince VizEds readers that this is a huge, positive step for our business. I stopped buying the paper because of the content … the lack of news, to be more precise. The redesign — bold, inventive, you name it — seems to keep that tradition.

But they might want to devote some of that energy to their web site.
