Newsquest Launches Revamped Sites

This month sees Newsquest begin its rollout of new-look websites - starting with sites in Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Among the revamped websites are the Lancashire Telegraph and its portal site ThisisLancashire, which has news from newspapers including the Bolton News and Blackburn Citizen.


The Lancashire Telegraph states that the new site incorporates navigational changes as well as weather and live traffic feed updates available on every page.

Another major difference is the introduction of registration for users who wish to post comments underneath articles.

The Telegraph asserts that its new-look website “can now bring you a richer mix of pictures, audio and video to supplement the strengths of the Lancashire Telegraph in print”.

Other Newsquest titles to be part of the initial rollout are the York Press and the Bradford Telegraph & Argus.


Reactions to the new design and further details can be found on Roy Greenslade’s Guardian blog and at Holdthefrontpage.co.uk.
