The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal is getting a new website, called NEMS360.com.
The website is going to offer a lot more features than the current bare-bones site operated by the DJ. The new site is available, but it is currently in a beta format.
I’ve always been surprised at the DJ’s lack of decent web presence, given the progressive nature of the newspaper. That said, I’m not sold on the new website. It’s still cluttered and not at all clean.
Perhaps they should have taken a look at what Boone Newspapers, Inc. did with their site. That’s a fabulous, if not somewhat expensive, platform. The Natchez Democrat and The Shelby County Reporter do the best online jobs in Boone. Those would be model sites for the DJ.
Anyway, I’ll be interested in seeing what people think of the new site. I’m just glad they are getting RSS feeds finally.
