1. Digging in the hidden stories
Beyond hierarchy -
finding the treasures in the content

2. Hierarchy by editorial decisions
What is important?
What should be in the focus?
It's the daily job for journalists.
But the designs of news websites
are mainly frameworked to show
these decisions in a
vertical ranking.
And journalists can have a
different agenda than
their readers...

3. How can we find
the underestimated story?
We want to find stories with a high level user
engagement rate comparing to the traffic.
The higher the factor, the higher the chance
to find the topics our readers are already
discussing - beyond the first screen stories.

user engagement factor

5. The data...
