New Look Sunday Times

tbh

I like it it - much cleaner and my favourite features seem to have been expanded. It's a shame tho that they make reference so much to colour when the Irish edition isn't in full colour yet. Also, have they dropped Sue Denham? It's atticus this week, but not sure if that was intended or not.

Decent paper and good value, especially with the continuous increase in Irish content over the past few years. It would be so nice if they now aligned the Irish print and web editions - for instance today's Sunday Times gives front page coverage to "Irish government threatens Haulbowline whistleblower", but www.sunday-times.ie simply redirects to the www.timesonline.co.uk site where there is no obvious reference to any Irish interest articles. I remember they had a set of regional links at one time.

It is there, somewhere, because a search for Haulbowline brings it up at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/ireland/article4277457.ece (THE Irish government has threatened legal action against an environmental consultant who claims it is attempting to play down the threat posed by toxic waste buried at Haulbowline in Cork. Stephen Griffin has been warned not to release any documentation on work he did for the Department of the Environment relating to the polluted island.)

Didn't buy it for real but when I went online it seemed to know my IP

I think the /to/l bit indicates /To Ireland (ed)/

At first glance the redesign looked good, but then as I went on reading, I decided I didn't really like it. I'm sure I'll get used to it though.

I still can't find any link on timesonline.co.uk to Ireland (or to any other region), so it is only possible to find a story by searching - in which case you need the paper edition to know what to search for. Even then not all Irish articles are included, for instance there was an article yesterday about the use of Mosquito youth repellants in Irish shopping centres that is not online.

It really doesn't seem possible to read the online Times like a newspaper, because you are limited to the portions the web editors have chosen to front-page link. The Independent, Irish Times, Examiner, BBC etc are much more accessible, and the BBC's links to related past stories is superb.

Flicked through it for the first time in months. Its ok.

In the News Review section, they mention that the print works in Kells will be upgraded early next year.

I read in the Meath Chronicle or some other local paper that there were ongoing labour issues in Smurfit News Press delaying the deployment of full colour presses.

is the link for the irish content. It doesn't have all the Irish content from each week (as someone else mentioned but it seems to put up most of em).

It's not a link that rolls of the tongue! Hopefully it can be shortened down.

Irish content is under World news if your clicking through from the main page.
