To be fair, the LA Times and Cicago Tribune are both owned by The Tribune Company. So it’s not all that out-of-this-world to see that they use the exact same stylesheets.
As I’m reading it, all the css files in the /hive/ directory are probably universally applied to all Tribune sites. The ones down at the bottom, market.css, are unique to each individual site.
On an editorial note, when you break it down in terms of the Hive and the Market veneer, it really sounds pretty soulless, doesn’t it?
Loved that TIME cover. In the future, TIME will have another cover, soon, that will say something like: Reading? Who’s Reading? We’re All Screening Now” — and the inside cover story will be about how computer screens and Kindle screens and Iphone screens have changed the entire nature of “reading” into something that will then be called “screening”. Watch.
