Stop the presses! No, really.

Print is dead. So what? Deal with it. 

And don't solve all your problems by throwing everything and its dead auntie on your news website; nobody wants to navigate that crap. Make it useful and intuitive to navigate or even visit your website. I don't know how many cluttered news sites I've been to where every single damn article is on the main page. Have an RSS ticker or something to point readers in the right direction, but don't make it shoot across the screen like on CNN or Fox News. Annoying, distracting, and I can't read it at my own pace.

And don't call anything a "portal," e.g. news portal or web portal. What does that even mean?
