How we consume news
c. 1605-2008 c. Todaye.g. gap time while in line for coffee,
waiting at a subway stop, etc.
Current news apps take an existing format and force it into a smaller screen where readers also have a dramatically shorter
attention span

The Article as the Unit of Information
Stories as collections of interconnected cards !
As a story develops, we only write/push what’s new !
These stories are long-form, timeshifted
STRUCTURED JOURNALISM
“”! “” ?- - - - -
Structured data: As opposed to things that aren’t structured. A telephone directory is pretty structured,
with names, addresses, phone numbers set up in particular places (fields, in database parlance). A love letter – unless it’s from a Romeo who sends the same
one to a number of people with just the dates and names changed – isn’t. Tagging a love letter doesn’t structure it; microtagging specific words or phrases is a sort of
half-way. !
