I have to agree fully with those who have voiced their disappointment in Salon for this EXTENDED piece of celebrity fawning. We read Salon precisely because it doesn't (or didn't) shove this sort of crap down our throats. If we need a celebrity fix there's always The Fix. I say leave it at that.
I have to disagree with those complaining about the new Salon layout, however. I love it! All of the main stories are right there at the top of the page, no scrolling required! I especially like that the AP wire stories follow you when you select one--no more constant back paging to get the headlines. Finding archived columns is terribly pain-free for anyone with the slightest bit of patience. High marks!
One suggestion: fix your letters formatting so that those of us who prefer to compose in Word can paste our letters in without all of the quotation marks and apostrophies turning to gobbledy-gook. Please.
To get back on point. If Ms. Traister's article is a sign of things to come in terms of where Salon is putting it's money for feature writing, I will cease putting my money towards a premium subscription, new layout or not.
