The new National Jeweler
As you might have already noticed, National Jeweler has a new look.
Today you, our readers, are consuming news differently, including on your iPhones and iPads, and thus it must be presented in a more visually appealing manner.
The slideshow, or rotator, at the top of the page can now hold up to seven stories -- up from five on the old site -- there is a designated Galleries area for trend stories, our monthly Spotlight pieces and celebrity coverage, and The Week in Photos now has its own space. In addition, we’ve added an in-article gallery option for stories that are better told through photos; this article on Leibish & Co. is one example.
We have replaced the National Jeweler app with what is called a responsive site. This means that our new website will automatically adjust to fit whatever device you are using to read it, whether it’s an iPhone, iPad or desktop computer.
Our newsletters also have been updated, with the goal of making them cleaner and tying their appearance to the look of the new site.
While a visual update was needed, a news site is nothing without great journalists to contribute to it, which is why we are so pleased to add a new member to our editorial team.
Brecken Branstrator joins National Jeweler from a company called M. Shanken Communications, where she worked on a trade publication covering the beer, wine and spirits industry.
She takes on the role of associate editor while Hannah Connorton, who has been covering fashion for us since February 2011, moves up to become our senior editor.
With an expanded staff and a redesigned site, National Jeweler aims to bring you the same great news and information, presented in a manner that is worthy of 2013, 2014 and beyond.
We hope you like it.
Sincerely,
Michelle Graff
Editor-in-Chief
