10. How we consume news
c. 1605-2008 c. Today
e.g. gap time while in line for coffee,
waiting at a subway stop, etc.
11. The Article as the Unit of Information
Current news apps take an
existing format and force it into
a smaller screen where readers
also have a dramatically shorter
attention span

12. STRUCTURED JOURNALISM
Stories as collections of
interconnected cards
!
As a story develops, we only write/
push what’s new

These stories are long-form,
timeshifted

14. 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.
