Take a look above and you will see that the new look of the HuffPost website is still bold and playing those typographic trombones as loudly as possible, including underlining the lead headline.
This is part of the HuffPost’s trademark and I am sure its followers expect it and like it.
So what’s new?
In the words of editor Lydia Polgreen:
At HuffPost, we put people first. This means we believe that real life is news, and news is personal. Regardless of who you are, where you live or what you believe, HuffPost will help you navigate what’s happening in the world and how it affects you. Your needs, passions, challenges and curiosity are the heart of all of our journalism. If something matters to you, it matters to us.
The redesigned homepage:
Apparently, the redesign allows for showcasing of a wider variety of stories, from what’s happening at the White House and beyond, “as well as the big stories that shape our lives,” according to Polgreen.
That includes the quiet housing crisis and the struggle for voting rights, and battles over health care, inequality and gender discrimination. And of course, the history-making presidential race.
But you’ll also find a lot more stories about what’s happening at your house: raising good kids, finding a therapist you can afford, managing your student debt. We know the day-to-day challenges of life are serious news too, and we are here to help.

Mario García
Editorial consultant Mario García has advised the most important newsrooms in the world on design – and how best adapt to a digital transition. More than 700 publications, from The Wall Street Journal to the South China Morning Post, have received his strategic steer. Other than being an adjunct professor at Columbia University’s School of Journalism, he also runs his own consultancy firm: García Media. Nowadays his speciality is how digital devices influence narrative structure and consumption; his latest book, The Story, was written specifically to be read on a phone. Here, though, he confesses to a few analogue pleasures.
