    Nunatsiaq, you need to do a better job with your website. When it was reorganized, you said it was to give a better look and feel to the readers, but I don’t think it does.
    .
    Under the “Highlight” section, you still have an article there from February 5th, and it’s about a wrestling event in Iqaluit. Move it along.
    .
    Under the “Trending” stories, you have a couple articles which will be 4 weeks old tomorrow. Move it along.
    .
    Meanwhile, it’s hard to even find some more recent stories. If you click on the “Nunavut” link or the “Iqaluit” link, you get a highlight of 5 stories but it’s iffy from there.
