http://www.economist.com – Very nice clean layout – the ads above the logo seem to work quite well.
http://www.energy-business-review.com/ - The two columns work really well for news stories. And the right hand side looks quite nice – but this section will need to be more obvious. Maybe have a small logo / picture, something.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ - nice layout – I like how they have the Matt and Alex columns – maybe something similar – or maybe not.
http://mikechamberslive.com/ - Nice use of space for the articles on the left hand side. Lots of info without looking too cluttered.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ - Nice layout and use of space – very professional looking.
