Review-Journal updates website
The Las Vegas Review-Journal today is unveiling an all-new website design.
The new reviewjournal.com was rebuilt from top to bottom and features a clean, intuitive design that makes it easier for readers to navigate Southern Nevada’s premier online news source.
The transition to the new website should happen about noon Monday.
The new site includes better story organization and photo presentation to highlight the variety of quality content produced every day by the Review-Journal.
“It was time — past time — to freshen up the site,” Editor Michael Hengel said. “First, there are more options for registering to make comments besides Facebook. Having only Facebook as an option annoyed a lot of people.”
Besides Facebook, the new site adds more options for commenter registration, including Twitter, Google+ and Disqus.
Another new feature will allow commenters to respond to each other in discussion threads within the main comment threads on articles.
“Readers still will need to register to make comments on stories, but they can use any of the options,” Hengel said. “Also, the new site will have more images and will be better organized. I hope people like the changes. We would love to hear their feedback.”
The site includes a new navigation bar that allows readers to easily find topics of interest, such as local news, gambling, UNLV sports and the entertainment scene. It also has tools for quick sharing of stories via social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
Links to the Review-Journal’s contests and promotions are also highlighted. throughout the website, which includes quick links to sister publications, including CityLife, Business Press and the View community newspapers.
