Almost identical looks and formats for Seattle Times, LA Times, SF Chronicle, Chicago Trib, Detroit Free Press, and many others.
Looks like the same designer is selling a particular product, and these are all very recent changes, occuring within a short time. Anyone know anything about this?

I have no idea, but it wouldn't surprise me if all of them were owned by the same company.

I have not checked the list, but Gannett owns 82 daily newspapers and 43 TV stations. It's no wonder a lot of the news looks and sounds the same.

The papers are so widespread and diverse, I didn't think of single ownership, but might be the thing.
... I think two are related the rest are not.
Newspapers themselves are more similar than different and I guess it follows with some websites as well.
I find some websites far more intuitive, for me at least, to navigate than some others.
I have not researched the mastheads you mentioned but maybe they target a similar demographic? (which may or may not warrant a similar perceived style?)

It's not a news thing; just a layout design thing. I envision some teenaged whiz kid going to each publication and selling them a canned template format he cobbled together in his garage.
