I really think they did a fantastic job here. They made the best of the medium, too: They used a narrow column for text (which, being a news company, they write for — this is part of why newspapers often have 1-sentence paragraphs). The narrow column makes it easier to quickly read and skim. Then this frees up a lot of space for a photo, much bigger than they could afford in print. The way you can filter categories, and the colors (no b&w print here) used to identify them are really playing to the strengths of the web format, too. A+

You can't 2 finger scroll the main area. Which is a pain.
Looks great, really slow on the iPad though
Awesome!
Looks bad on Safari showing an extra scroll bar in the center of the text field when continuing on to the full content. Strange.
