Welcome to the New CBS News.com
After months of development and testing, we are setting sail with the next generation of our Web site. The new CBSNews.com offers a more visually rich and navigable presentation of the news as it happens. At the top of the home page, we have rotating images of the top stories, a stack of latest headlines, exclusive content from CBS News, and carousels of the news in photos, the latest videos and additional news stories and features.
Take A Tour Of The New Site
The page also provides easy navigation to the news sections, such as Politics and Health, blogs and revamped sites for the CBS News programs, including Evening News, The Early Show, 60 Minutes, 48 Hours Mystery, Face the Nation, Sunday Morning and Up to the Minute.
In addition, the new CBSNews.com provides access to live coverage of breaking news and special events, and a real-time Twitter feed of news from our correspondents and editors.
We are also launching a new blog, 48 Hours Crimesider, a companion to the popular CBS News 48 Hours Mystery true-crime program. Crimesider's daily blotter covers the most riveting crime stories of the day and features 911 calls, police interrogations and expert forensics.
In addition to Crimesider, CBSNews.com has several blogs, including Political Hotsheet, WorldWatch, EconWatch and CourtWatch and RightsWatch, that offer the latest buzz and analysis on the major issues of the day.
We are also introducing a new series of Web video programs. Washington Unplugged, our hard-hitting, topical, political forum with exclusive newsmaker interviews and roundtable discussions, will move from a weekly to a live daily format. Bob Schieffer, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent and moderator of Face the Nation, hosts the show along with other CBS News correspondents.
Later this summer, we will debut The Tomorrow Show, hosted by CBS News Contributor Mo Rocca. It will be a fun, interactive program about the strange and inventive future that is ahead of us. The Tomorrow Show will discuss technology, food, pop culture, the environment and other topics with the scientists, authors, bloggers, and futurists who are forecasting the future and the audience.
Also coming this summer, CBS News medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton will host In Sickness and Health, a live weekly show that will cover a variety of topical subjects in medicine, highlighting Dr. Ashton's specialization in women's health.
