NATIONAL HEADLINES 5 SEPTEMBER 2019 |

Hey there! Have you explored our new home page? We think home pages for busy, evolving websites are kind of like a garden. At first everything is all in its rows, and you remember why you planted this here and that there. Over time some parts die off, and new species of content take root and flower. After enough years, your undulating green italic headlines are fighting for sunlight against six other type styles of various colours, and the whole jumble makes sense only to regular visitors to the garden. That’s where we’ve ended up. With one overgrown garden of a home page (and, now, one exhausted metaphor). So we redesigned our home page to reflect our first principle at The Tyee to put readers first. We hope you find it easier to engage with us, find your way around, and get the most out of the journalism we produce for, and with, you. You can read our walkthrough here, and don’t forget to let us know what you think! — Robyn Smith, editor in chief |
