Wall Street Journal to Ditch Text-Heavy Look in Web Redo

Journalism.co.uk: The Wall Street Journal is to launch its first web redesign in seven years, along with a news app for the forthcoming Apple Watch. The refurbished WSJ.com is set to go live on April 21, signposting a move away from the Journal’s text-heavy look with a less cluttered navigation and a responsive design optimized for desktop, smartphones and tablets. “The way we think of it is it’s not just a redesign, it’s a new platform on which we’ll build.”
