Cnn's executive decision to issue a relaunch clearly indicates its commitment and interest in becoming a more state of the art web site. Changing options, and displays to shift them toward more prominent information focuses means they are doing their research and they are capitalizing on trends they've noticed. The fact that they want to make their site more appealing by adding "personalisation functionality" shows that they too are hopping on the web 2.0 bandwaggon.
They now are trying to focus more upon their distinct storytelling rather than fact listing. What is interesting is how they have said that they are going to help feature each item in its best suited medium for viewing. I feel that the more distinctive and niche oriented this website gets the more views it will too recieve because website that tend to throw information into the viewers face, tend to be more useful and practical than those that require more searching and slow reading. Ultimately CNN.com has proved its interest in competing to be a state of the art news medium.
