Monday October 26th is the official launch of the new CNN.com. Thursday night in New York, Jim Walton and KC Estenson had an event to show the new site to members of the media. Here is our PR take, and one other site’s take on the new design:

You will actually see the site slowly roll out over the weekend, but the big push for the new site will begin Monday morning. We will take a small role in this, by putting the words “the new” in front of any mention of CNN.com next week.

Beginning with the 6:30a bottom of the hour newscast on Monday morning, when you say “for news anytime go to cnn.com” change that to “for news anytime go to the new CNN.com.” We’ll do that all week concluding with Friday night’s 11:30p newscast.
