Metro has relaunched its website, metro.co.uk, with a new-look, mobile-first layout designed "to supercharge search traffic".
Editor Deborah Arthurs said the redesign was built around the fact more than 90% of its audience now arrives via mobile

I can confirm. We at Metro have implemented and seen with our own eyes how you can increase page views and decrease the story count. In this day and age, more stories absolutely does not equal more page views. You have to write smarter, not harder.

I have seen first-hand this year how fantastic teams can produce half the stories and still double the page views.

Such a lovely and fitting service, reflecting David’s character all over. Thank you to @Telegraph and also the Knowles family for allowing everyone to say goodbye in this way wherever they were. It meant a lot to have been able to tune in today.

I barely have the words. David Knowles and I had known each other since our City days and were at one point quite close. So sad and shocked to hear about his passing.

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our colleague, David Knowles.
David was a talented journalist and a much-loved friend and a colleague. He will be greatly missed.

I deeply admired the amazing work he did with the Ukraine: The Latest podcast and watched proudly as it became a success. I can only say that my thoughts are very much with all his family, friends and colleagues as I know he will be missed dearly.

One last thing to say. Seeing all the tributes to him, even on BBC News, has been astounding but comforting. So many people loved him. He was such a big part of my early twenties - I feel so fortunate to have been one of them m.youtube.com/watch?v=-CUF2d…

‘The 1950s shit they want from me’. @taylorswift13 was not wrong. What the hell is this.

Sad to see this sexist drivel on @Newsweek
“At 34, Swift remains unmarried and childless, a fact that some might argue is irrelevant to her status as a role model. But it's crucial to consider what kind of example this sets for young girls.”
