The Tribune websites are launching redesigns (except the latimes.com), and the first to launch was OrlandoSentinel.com. Why is this news for us? Well, many TV stations compete against a Tribune paper. Although, I’m challenged to call this a newspaper website, as I see plenty of video, weather and traffic. Even their story pages have better video placement than most TV sites I’ve seen. The site includes comments and ratings by readers on stories and photos. The slideshows are embedded and not a pop-up. Oh, and there is only one branding logo on the page. How many TV stations do that? Overall a nice, clean redesign. I just wish they killed the vertical navigation.
