          This is such a typically UX-blind bad layout.

        I don't know what site I'm looking at b/c title small, center aligned. Date is before it for some reason. Almost no data in first scroll.

      First scan gives me a dateline and byline. Neither of which I care about. This image conveys no data. What is this article about? I dunno.

    Then, first scroll, I have to answer survey b/f getting anything but image. If this wasn't linked by someone I trusted I would bounce

      There isn't even a conversion opportunity in the first eyeline on the first scroll, much less initial layout.

        I'm picking on Roll Call b/c they're stupid survey, but this is a pretty common set of layout issues. So bad.

          Look at the first scroll in a Gizmodo property as a contrast: - Informational image.

            - First thing I see contextualizes w/related content & gives me a conversion opportunity if I don't like the hed.

              - Immediate CTA. - Headline takes up less space. - Byline w/human face on it. - Dateline uses taxonomy to tell me what this is about.

                First scroll has an annoying ad placement, but otherwise isolates the content to make the first part I read easy to see and not distract me

                  Look at how *much* space there is between the ad and the content. This stuff matters.

                    I wonder if there is a rule at Gizmodo Media to make most preview images either informational or have a human face in them.

                        You know who does information density *really* well? Meetup. Look at an event on Meetup and see how much you can take in cleanly at a glance
