The New York Times – Breaking News, World News & Multimedia has a new CSS layout with five, count ’em, five columns. It looks good and uses standards with menus constructed of lists and a layout built of divs. There’s a bit of JavaScript directing readers with really ancient browsers to some text-heavy pages for the headlines. Things aren’t perfect yet in terms of standards, but it’s deserving of praise as a step in the right direction.
Today’s big NY Times headline is that Katie Couric is leaving morning TV to become the first woman to lead an evening newscast on her own. I may start watching TV news again just to celebrate!
