I think the strategy of dividing the latest news into sub categories was a great idea. When you have that much information to display, a good organizational system really benefits the user. In this case the categories are well marked and laid out, and it seems very effective for displaying the information.
I also really like the new personalized section containing 'news pulse', 'local weather and news', etc. It's interactive and could prove to be very helpful to the user. The 'drawer' like interface saves a lot of space without sacrificing information.
Overall, I quite like the new design and layout.
The old site wasn't bad. This new site just seems to be slightly revamped and geared to the modern age where some people would prefer to stream videos to find their news as opposed to reading them in long draw-out articles. I also like the NewsPulse where you can read articles that may have been the headlines two days ago as opposed to the dynamically changing homepage. Lastly, I agree that the organization is what makes the site. Everything can be found quickly ensuring that viewers get their news in a timely manner.
