After waiting through a few hours of “server is busy” responses, local media watchdogs will notice that The Courier-Journal launched its redesigned website this afternoon featuring new colors and alternations to the comments section.
In response to stories, readers can now give comments a thumbs up or thumbs down andsign in through Facebook rather than a separate C-J account. As others have pointed out, early reactions have been dismissive of the changes thus far. The new design also appears to be a nationwide change for all newspapers under the Gannett Company, the country’s biggest newspaper publisher which owns The C-J.
