Note on the new look of the Daily News:

As you will note, we at the Hürriyet Daily News are amid a comprehensive redesign of our Web site. Not only have we reorganized what readers see. We have also reorganized much backstage, including the means of producing the Internet pages in tandem with the newspaper. As with any such technology-laden exercise, many things can go wrong. A few have and a few more will in the coming days. We appreciate your patience with the occasional link that fails, the blog promised but not delivered or the search that ends in frustration. As we refine and fine tune the many changes, we will appreciate your bringing any lingering problems to our attention. And please feel free to share comments, advice or criticisms as well. This is only a start. Much more change is in store.
