What am I missing here?
It looks visually great, but aren't we basically looking at text with embedded videos? On Twitter the buzz about this made me this was a brand new way of presenting articles - you know what it reminds me of most? A book.
- pyre 14y agoThis comes across as comparing poor journalism to good journalism and complaining that you it's all 'just words,' so what's the 'big deal?'
- kerno 14y agoLet me try again - the buzz on twitter I referred to was focussed on how this design represented a bold new way of presenting journalism to an audience. My point is; to characterise presenting an article in this interface as revolutionary strikes me as incorrect - it instead harks back to a format that we're all familiar with and which works very well. Which, as I wrote, is the book. The quality of the journalism doesn't come into it; I'm sure it's very good.
