When The Mirror recently redesigned their website, it looked like someone had just broken out the crayons in a box marked "Crazy Web 2.0 Photoshop Gradients". As you can see, the effect has also spread to MyDailyMirror.com.

This is the Mirror's site where customers can purchase copies of famous Daily Mirror front pages from throughout the paper's history.

Or not, in the case of recent titles.

Despite the fact that you'd expect it to be easier to lay your hands on a copy of The Mirror from the 8th March this year than say, July 20th 1969, it turns out that the most recent newspapers are not yet available on the service

Which doesn't stop the site offering you the chance to enlarge the non-existant image, or the chance of adding nothing to your basket.

If everyone suddenly went blind, how long would the Internet survive, and could you still publish news on it?


The Express makes a twit of itself

With professionals of this quality, who needs 'citizen journalist' enemies?
It is hard to argue that ethics and quality set the 'professional journalist' apart from the amateur blogger, if the 'professional' keeps publishing articles so wrong that they have to be deleted.
