Earlier this month Boston.com launched a new site, The Big Picture, where the name says it all.  Each entry tells a story through high-quality and lovely large images. I often get frustrated and small images in news stories so this is refreshing. Some of the photos are exceptional and when they are at such a large size you can really appreciate them.

I hope other news sites take the hint and offer something similar in the future. I know some sites have started to enlarge there images, but I think they can still take it further. A long, even powerful, article about Sudan may not get many readers, but I’m not sure how many people can not take the time to look at these photos and feel something.
