Designing The Listening Experience: The Making of NPR OneDaniel Newman
As presented on October 6, 2015 at HOW Interactive Design Conference in Chicago.
NPR One is a personalized audio experience designed to be heard. If we are doing our job well, then you likely aren’t even looking at your device. But being out-of-sight creates a unique set of constraints for building a mobile app. How do we craft an experience for that is audio-first? How do we design interfaces that are simple, content-first, and easy-to-understand, even if they're only used once in awhile? And how does the team work to evolve the experience and add new features while avoiding bloat and retaining the focus that is the hallmark of the app?
In this session, l'll discuss the evolution of NPR’s new digital radio platform, from inception to obstacles to examples of interactions built for listening. I'll talk about team dynamics and process, user research and A/B test findings, and delve into the paths not taken. Ultimately, you'll be able to learn from our successes and missteps as we continue to build the ultimate audio news and storytelling experience.

8. Met een mogelijk verhaal in het ach-
terhoofd gaat de datajournalist op
jacht.
Datasets worden op bruikbaarheid
en consistentie getest en indien
nodig opgeschoond.
De dj filtert de data, verrijkt deze
met andere sets en zoekt naar
extremen of afwijkende patronen.
De dj zoekt naar een visualisatie-
methode en (bij ‘NL van boven’) pro-
jecteert de data op kaart of luchtfoto.
Met de eindredacteur stelt hij de
scènes samen, schrijft de voice-over
en bepaalt camerabewegingen.
De enorme dataset gaat met briefing
naar het animatieteam die de miljoe-
nen puntjes kleurt en animeert.
1. speuren 2. analyseren 3. combineren 4. visualiseren 5. schrijven 6. animeren

With a possible story in mind the data
journalist starts hunting.
Checking usability and consistency.
If necessary dataset is cleaned.
The DJ filters the data, enriches it
with other sets and searches for ex-
treme or abnormal patterns.
The DJ looks for a visualization method
projects the data on a map or aerial
imagery.
With the editor the DJ composes the
storyboard, writes the voice-over and
determines camera movement.
The whole set is sent to the animati-
on team who renders the scenes.
1. research 2. analyze 3. combine 4. visualize 5. write 6. animate
