Do not like Sky's new website at all. Very cheap looking and sensationalist.

The carousel on the sky news homepage looks remarkably similar to the one on the ITV F1 site

They sure like capitals on the Sky News beta site, indeed on Sky's live site, I challenge you to find a headline which does not have a capital at the beginning of every word. Incredibly Bad English From Sky. Laughing


I was always taught at school that beginning words with capitals in a title was the correct thing to do.

As with so many things taught at school - it's a half-truth at best. For headlines, it's more common (in the UK at least) to use sentence case.


It's all depends on the House Style of the company.

Very rarely used for headlines in the UK though. Much more common in American broadsheet newspapers, where the headlines are capitalised, boring, and often a grammatical mess.

reading on the sky news discussions, it would seem that everybody is dissatisfied with the new layout. it is really is a mess. it's sluggish too, all that video loading seems to slow the whole server down. perhaps they'll have a rethink.

Well at least it is in following with the TV channel.....as in a shadow of its former self.

Well it was hardly my number one source of news before. Far from it.
