Fresh News At The Daily Star

The English language daily now has an e-paper version.
 

 
It has been a truism among Lebanese bloggers that the Daily Star is a hopeless reading experience. A case of good content often hidden under endless layers of gimmicks, solicitations (remember that “Save democracy in the Middle East” beg-vertisment?), browsing hiccups and unrefined, often crude advertising. (Read this complaint by Andy Carvin on how he bumped into Hemorrhoids ads on the Daily Star).
 
This is why I was positively surprised when I found out that the Daily Star now has an e-version of its online newspaper. One that is actually neat and for once provides a good reading experience.
 
The site offers many services, like a search engin, ranking articles, RSS subscription, a picture gallery and a PDF version, all for what seems to me like an affordable price of $9.95 a month.
 
Still, this step is not enough and a lot of work remains to be done on its original, free site.
