  1. Know who you are.
  2. Be in the Web, not on the Web.
  3. The Web is not the world.
  4. Understand what people do with news, why people consume news.
  5. Support different modes of engagement.
  6. Every page is the home page.
  7. Navigation is dead; long live navigation.
  8. Put the “multi” in multimedia.
  9. Headlines should tempt, not tease.
  10. Think outside the blob.
  11. It’s an application not a publication.
  12. Try things out, throw things out.
