This document discusses features for a news browsing application including adding stories to a reader, donating to support news organizations, and the ability for users to endorse stories. It also mentions collecting private user information like name and location when signing up.
This document discusses the concept of participatory journalism, where readers and citizens are actively involved in the news reporting process. Some key points made include:
- Participation can take many forms, including citizen journalism, user-generated content, distributed reporting, and community-funded reporting where the financial burden is shared.
- Community-funded reporting allows the public to influence the agenda and have more transparency and control over the reporting process.
- The reporting process is more transparent when done through crowd-funding and blogging, as the public can follow the process and provide input.
- Experiments with participatory models are important to try new approaches to journalism.
Spot.Us is a platform that allows citizens, bloggers, and civic leaders to crowdfund journalists to investigate local issues. By getting a few dozen people to donate $10-20 each, a freelance reporter can be hired to create community journalism where the public commissions and owns the content, potentially setting the local news agenda. The platform works to publish this citizen-driven content in local media outlets and sell initial publishing rights to increase visibility and return donations to fund further journalism.
There are three traditional revenue streams for journalism - advertising, direct purchases from consumers, and donations. While some hope to find new revenue models, the document argues that the core revenue streams remain the same and the key is improving, experimenting, and adapting existing models rather than replacing them entirely. It provides examples of how some organizations have tried to improve donations by increasing transparency and participation. Overall, it acknowledges constraints can be beneficial and that the focus should remain on high-quality content to engage audiences through any revenue model.
This document describes a community-focused sponsorship opportunity with Spot.Us, a nonprofit news organization. Through sponsorship, organizations can create engaging surveys on topics related to their cause, brand, or product. Users complete the surveys and assign "Spot dollars" to fund news stories. Survey results and user feedback are provided to the sponsor. Sponsor logos appear on funded stories. Sponsorship levels range from $1,000 to over $10,000, with benefits including number of survey questions, user responses, and logo placement on Spot.Us pages and materials. The goal is to support independent journalism while providing sponsors valuable community input.
This document discusses how mobile experiences are shaped by the capabilities of different platforms and devices. It emphasizes that user interactions like swiping add texture and dimensionality to storytelling on mobile. It also notes that mobile helps fill idle time and that content is increasingly optimized for sharing on social networks in bite-sized pieces without full context.
The document discusses strategies for using SMS/text messaging to engage audiences and generate revenue for media organizations. It provides examples of how some organizations have successfully implemented texting campaigns to increase subscriber growth, retention and monetization. Key points discussed include using texting to deliver timely news updates, drive website traffic, promote products/events, and create paid subscription offerings for exclusive content and insights.
The document provides guidance on developing a minimum viable product (MVP). It emphasizes starting small by testing one hypothesis or use case rather than launching everything. An MVP should have a clear product, audience, and fit between the two. Examples are given of early MVPs like Google Cardboard and Spot.Us. Iteration and customer feedback are important parts of the process. Constraints can foster creativity. The document stresses focusing on solving customer problems and operating in the information business rather than any single medium or technology.

This document discusses ideas around the future of media including networked journalism, structured content, bots, video, and engagement. It advocates for experimenting with new ideas and formats rather than debating attempts. Minimal viable products and iterating quickly are important. Platforms are changing how content is distributed and consumed, requiring media companies to adapt. New forms of storytelling like updates to live stories can increase reader engagement over time.
This document contains questions for an interview with Katie and Amanda about trying new ideas and approaches in their work. The questions cover topics like where they find inspiration, how they brainstorm and explore new ideas, how they approach working with designers and developers, common mistakes journalists make when trying new things, and a project or area they are currently interested in.
Osterwalder's Business Canvas is a strategic management template used to develop new business models and strategies. It includes nine building blocks: customer segments, value proposition, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partners, and cost structure. The template is used to define a company's unique value proposition for its target customers and how it will generate revenue while maintaining costs and relationships with partners and customers.
This document discusses emerging trends in digital media including crowdfunding, networked journalism, structured content, bots, video, and platform intelligence. It encourages experimenting with new forms of reporting, editorial structures, storytelling tools, and database journalism. The document notes that it is cheaper and easier to try new ideas than debate trying them. It presents two radical concepts: that technology companies and media companies are converging and the future of media consumption may not resemble current forms. It emphasizes that those in this space are in the information business and discusses how the geography of the web is changing. The document provides advice on developing a process for experimenting, focusing on what is most important, writing concisely, and testing ideas.
The document discusses the rise of social media feeds as the dominant way people consume content online. It argues that platforms like Facebook and Snapchat have created the most powerful version of the content feed by bundling together different types of personal and impersonal content. Unlike traditional television, the social feeds allow for unlimited audience relevance as content is tailored specifically for each user, and users can discuss content within the feed. The document also examines trends in video storytelling on social platforms and debates around formats like 360 versus 180 degree video on Facebook.
The document discusses how content consumption and storytelling is shifting to mobile platforms. It emphasizes that the best mobile experiences are native to each platform and tailored for how people engage with different types of content like news, videos and photos on mobile. It also discusses the need for more structured, modular content that can be updated over time and distributed across various platforms and social networks in a scalable way.
The document discusses experimenting with new forms of journalism using technology and collaboration. It emphasizes that those in the media industry are really in the information business and should embrace innovation. It advocates trying new ideas through a process of failing early and often to learn quickly. Collaboration between different organizations is presented as key if new forms of journalism are to succeed on new platforms.
Mobile experiences need to be optimized for their platform by being simplified, time-sensitive, and mobile-first. Circa created the most efficient news process by updating stories over time which eliminates repeating background information, allowing them to exponentially increase content without equal increases in resources. The best mobile experiences are native applications that are optimized for their platform rather than abstracted presentations of content.
The document discusses how mobile experiences are changing storytelling and content consumption. It notes that interactions like swiping add texture and feeling to stories on mobile. Platforms are also providing more context to how content appears and is distributed with features like geolocation. Content producers are learning to make their stories, infographics, and other media more scannable and modular for mobile audiences.
The document discusses experimenting with new forms of digital journalism using tools like networked reporting, data journalism, and new storytelling formats. It emphasizes trying new ideas quickly through an iterative process of failing early and often. It also notes that the future of media consumption may not look like traditional broadcast, newspaper or radio businesses, and that all players in this space are really in the information business due to changing digital platforms and geographies. It highlights the importance of creating content optimized for different platforms and devices like mobile.
This document provides a history of the evolution of the web and how it has impacted journalism. It traces the development of web technologies from static webpages in Web 1.0 to the rise of social media and user-generated content in Web 2.0. Key developments discussed include the growth of blogging in the 2000s, the rise of sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, and the entrepreneurship of new media companies in the 2010s. The document argues that technology companies have become media companies and that media companies must adapt to the new digital landscape.
Swiping and other gestures add texture and a feeling of immersion to digital storytelling by involving the sense of touch rather than just sight. As new technologies like geolocation, accelerometers, gesture control and augmented reality become more prevalent, this tactile storytelling experience will intensify. Design should avoid elements that cause frustration like slow performance, abrupt transitions or convoluted sign-up processes in order to keep users calm.
The document discusses considerations for designing mobile experiences, including:
- Native mobile experiences provide the best user experience by utilizing touchscreen capabilities.
- Content needs to be scannable and modular to account for users consuming information differently on mobile.
- Common mistakes to avoid include slow performance, bad transitions, and bad signup processes that frustrate users.
- Effective mobile design requires thinking about how content can be consumed without full context on small screens.
The document discusses how technology companies are becoming media companies and the future of media consumption. It explores ideas around experimenting with new forms of digital and mobile journalism using tools like networked reporting, databases, and structured storytelling. Specifically, it focuses on opportunities around mobile experiences, simplified and optimized mobile-first content, and structured journalism that presents stories as interconnected cards that are updated over time. The lines between different forms of media will continue to blur as how people consume news shifts to moments like waiting in line or on public transit.
This document discusses the future of media consumption and journalism. It explores how technology companies are becoming media companies and how the lines between different types of media will blur. It also examines new forms of structured journalism using interconnected cards and prioritizing mobile-first experiences that are simplified and time-sensitive. The document advocates experimenting with new forms of storytelling and editorial structures to engage readers in a mobile setting.
The document discusses challenges with mobile news and proposes solutions. It argues that current mobile news apps take existing long-form articles and force them into smaller screens with less attention. Instead, it advocates atomizing stories into interconnected fact and media cards that are optimized for mobile. The document also discusses using push notifications and a follow feature to encourage ongoing engagement with developing news stories in real-time.
The document discusses problems with mobile news apps and how Circa is addressing these issues. Current news apps take existing long-form articles and force them onto mobile screens with short attention spans. Circa breaks down stories into core elements like facts, quotes, and media called "cards" to make the news more easily digestible on mobile. Circa also uses a unique process to continually update stories over time as new information is added, making the production and consumption of news more efficient. Readers can follow stories on Circa to receive these updates, creating an engaging way to consume news as it develops over time.
The document appears to be a collection of article headlines and brief statements published on Thursday, August 30, 12. The articles discuss topics like craftsmanship in journalism, statements about assets and paths, designing for mobile, and moving away from a page view model on websites. The document also references 12 contributing editors working on a particular design.
The document contains announcements for a startup weekend event on June 23rd that will provide inspiration, an opportunity to develop a product under constraints, and chances to learn from other developers and past startup success stories. Participants are warned of common problems like time management but encouraged that all necessary resources are provided to take their first steps towards success or failure as entrepreneurs.
