Kind of a cross-post now, but in terms of specifics, it'd be good to see a robust simple/advanced search. In other words, the site's design should incorporate a prominent search area, either top-right or within the main nav bar. In my research for various articles and site design, it's pretty clear users are less inclined to use drilling down for nav these days, and prefer search, and so having it prominent and accessible is a very good idea.
Then, of course, you should have some kind of advanced option for filtered searches, rather than just keyword ones. Something like this would be good:
[keyword search field]
[•] Show results with any terms
[ ] Show results with all terms
Restrict search to:
[Article type V] [Date V] [Some other category V]
| Interviews |
| News |
| Reviews |
| Etc... |
