| | I thought I'd get it going by including a list of some of the sites that I think do a good job with articles. Among others I like the design of: - The Atlantic – Great job of creating a consistent design between the site in general and article pages specifically. Bold typography and borders keep it flowing.
- The New York Times (sometimes) – I know a lot of people love to hate on the New York Times, but I think that their article pages are superb a lot of the time. The line length and fonts work well for me. Also, I think the way in which they incorporate links to other related content (slideshows, video, other articles, etc.) is great.
- Instapaper – Yeah, it's not technically a news site, but I think that Marco is on to something with the design. Instapaper provides not only the ability to save articles to read later, but also allows for you to view the article as text only. This removes ads and some of the more distracting elements of some sites. Sometimes simplicity is great.
Those are just a few of my favourite places to read articles. What are yours? Any good examples of integrating ads or multimedia into the page? | Andrew – andrew@copress.org – CoPress Hosting Director – http://www.andrewspittle.net |

| | Figured I'll throw in the MSNBC story page redesign into the mix. It's not perfect, but a very interesting take on how to integrate various forms of related content into a single space.

I always thought it was interesting how plain San Francisco's Golden Gate Xpress' article pages were: http://saila.com/columns/lcky/…..4/29/2240/ | |
