News sites get racier online

When the "Bay to Breakers" community road race in San Francisco was covered this year, SFGate.com, the Web site of the San Francisco Chronicle, ran a photo of nude male runners -- showing their bare backsides -- prominently on the home page. The print edition of the Chronicle took a more conservative approach, publishing photos of runners wearing underwear and fake fig leaves. In an effort to attract younger audiences, this news site and others apply looser taste standards online than in print -- even though the sites are operated by the same newspaper companies, writes Editor & Publisher's Steve Outing.
