One of the big things newspaper websites get wrong is how they integrate advertising. It’s as if they’ve all plugged into the same banner system (which probably isn’t far from the truth). The placement of web ads is all wrong, and it restricts design possibilities, which is a big reason newspaper websites tend to suck. There’s a few that don’t suck completely, but I have yet to see advertising in a newspaper website done well. Perhaps I haven’t looked hard enough.
