Design Updates

We've made several design changes to the most trafficked areas of our site to improve its performance and visual appeal:

• Crisp, white background: Our homepage and story pages are now brighter, more navigable and faster to load.
• Larger images in the grid: Photos are bolder, making it easier to find stories you're interested in.
• Summary of related news on story pages: Now we not only link to related news, but provide a summary of the associated article.
