I really enjoy The New York Times' web page because the layout, in my mind, is similar to that of a traditional newspaper. There's the headline banner with the date as well as the included advertising. One doesn't have to scroll to the left or right when they open they page, however, one does have to scroll down quite a ways. The tool bar is rather large, but I think the use of bold and grey type makes it more easy to follow visually. The page is also broken up into sections, so that once one becomes accustomed to the page, they can instantly scroll to their favorite "section." Additionally, there are a lot of pictures included, but they don't overwhelm the page.
I think my favorite part about the page is that one can read the headline and the initial sentence which sums up the story for you. In an age where time is of the essence, it helps those who are on the go get a lot of news in a shorter period of time.
The New York Times also has an email version of their web page which I take advantage of as well.
