September is over. And so is my free use of The Boston Globe's new website.
I must resort to using its free counterpart – the old model littered with advertisements. Today provides a new annoyance. Animated leaves sprinkle the screen and fall across the page in homage to the autumn season.
Although I am not happy with this outdated site, I must commend The Boston Globe for its use of photo galleries in both news and sport stories.
Today's top story, rain waters flood North Shore towns, featured two photo galleries – one professional and one of user-generated content.
The site also features a special photo gallery on the 2011 Topsfield Fair. This use of photos gives The Boston Globe readers a sense of community.
Another photo gallery focuses on the Boston Red Sox, and what players will need to change in order to create a more successful team for next year. These photos use personality portraits and emotion to capture the players instead of the typical baseball action shot.
I was surprised by The Boston Globe's use of photography on its free site.
