If you like bland, boring layout design, then I've got news for you loyal blog readers: LJWorld.com is you're tropical paradise. I'm not sure if the particular aim of the assignment was to find that there isn't any solid multimedia use by the mainsite (though lawrence.com is heavily dependent on different multimedias), it's virtually inexistant.
For starters, you cannot access any online content without registering with the website. Atleast in the case of the New York Times they give you a little sample of what you'd be reading.
Then, after registering (which I already can't stand to do in the first place), the articles are still inexcessable. Perhaps I caught LJWorld.com at a bad time. In any case, the inconveince to register already would turn away anyone who is not interested in being hassled. It's like the people at the register at a Compact Disc World forcing free magazine subscriptions on you when you're making a purchase with a credit card (I know, because I'm quite a pusher at my job).
