The icon you've got there (tiny newspaper on what looks like a mac monitor) is completely unclear to me. What are you trying to say with it?
I don't know if this is true for anyone else, but for me the header nav stuff is HUUUUUUGE and could use some aesthetic work. For reference, here's what I see: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v624/adlaiff6/2010-04-14-1... It is smaller on other pages.
I will try to have more idea-based/conceptual/critical comments for you soon, kinda running out the door at the moment.
I agree. We're iterating on the site, and I think we'll be reducing the size of that. Its actually smaller on every other page.
The homepage is going to be more about the content, so we'll be moving towards making the non-content elements smaller an less significant.
Also, we're to make the site about the journalists, rather than about us, so we'll be changing the design to emphasize the journalists' brands more than newstilt.

I like this. I'm getting tired of sites that tell you what they are, it would be nice to see sites move to /showing/ me what they are instead.
This seems like a more difficult task though, so good luck.
