Preview of this weekend’s ABCNEWS.com relaunch
Steve Safran April 26th, 2007
ABCNEWS.com unveils its new look this weekend and, from the preview ABC’s media relations sent us, it looks like a major departure from the current site. The new ABCNEWS.com is much cleaner and easier to read and navigate. The upper right is dedicated to an embedded video player and the search box is prominent (as we’ve pointed out, that’s how people navigate). According to a memo sent from ABC News President David Westin to the ABC News staff this morning, “One of the important goals for the new ABCNEWS.com is to use the power of the community created on the Internet to take that reporting to new levels. We will actively seek participation by those with something factual to add. We will solicit from our Internet users the questions they want answered by those in positions of power and knowledge.” Below, a screengrab sent to us from ABC News.
