The New Age launches online

New publication The New Age's online portal was up and running on Thursday in what it described as a "soft launch" to test systems.

EDIT: Just judging from the majority of the articles on the front page, this seems slanted in favour of government .

Wonder for how much it will sell ?

[Linoman]

Ugly and difficult to navigate

[midrange]

Awful.

You should be proud - your tax money is indirectly paying for this.

erm yes, that's exactly their point!

Too much on one page!

I don't like the UI at ALL. Font is difficult to read. 5 Billion things to focus on. Colours are not calming at all. I feel stressed just reading it. There's no uniformity between all the images / buttons / colours etc. Did they do any research into what local users like to look at?

After all that I got to the content. Not impressed at all. Let's hope this changes dramatically soon. I doubt i'll be visiting there again:/

It's not an alternative viewpoint. It's not even a viewpoint. That would imply some form of critcal thought has been applied. It is a party political advertisement.
