“…In addition, the Bavarian public broadcasting service has made a name for itself recently with its digital innovations (e.g. the "BR24" app, "Linius" storytelling tool as well as various transmedia projects), realised to a large degree with the input of "In-House Innovation Labs" (see Boyles, 2015, for further details concerning "In-House Innovation Labs" in media organisations).…”

“…Partly in response to new competitors as well as to the relatively low-cost affordances of a digital environment, legacy news outlets also are more open to experimentation than in the past. Although newsroom culture and structure affect the degree to which "intrapreneurs" become fully integrated (Boyles 2016), in-house initiatives enable traditional media to test new approaches and content offerings without major adjustments to core operations. They also offer opportunities to reconfigure, extend, and rebrand long-standing aspects of news work and relationships among practitioners inside and outside a newsroom (Holton 2016).…”

This study considers fact-checkers as innovators and entrepreneurs. It explores funding models as well as perceptions about three core aspects of a successful journalistic enterprise: audiences, value propositions, and resources. Findings indicate particular attention to media literacy and civic engagement, independence, and transparency. In addition, many fact-checkers see their role as not merely extending traditional journalism but also correcting some of its shortcomings.

“…As a result they have emerged as serious challengers to institutional producers of news (Boyles, 2015). Within such businesses there is a culture of experimentation and creativity, fostered by flatter organisational structures and collaborative work: "As startups are unbound by traditional constraints of newsroom management, the timeline to bring a new product to market is highly accelerated" (Boyles, 2015, p. 7).…”

“…However, there is a view that journalism needs to find new value and innovate if it is to remain a viable practice (Boyles, 2015;Christensen, Skok & Allworth, 2012;Pavlik, 2013;Picard, 2010;Raetzsch, 2015). Picard (2010) argues that the fundamental problem facing news orgnisations is not technology but making content useful and valuable to audiences.…”

“…As discussed early in the thesis, journalism is at a point of radical change (Franklin, 2014;Picard, 2014) it needs to come up with new ideas and new forms of interaction if it is to innovate and remain relevant to audiences (Boyles, 2015;Christensen, Skok, & Allworth, 2012;Pavlik, 2013;Raetzsch, 2015). Picard (2010) points out that "efforts to add value should build upon the foundation of journalistic values, not seek to be substitutes for them" (p. 84).…”

Journalism Design: The NewsCube, Interactive Technologies and Practice

Journalism is in a period of transition. Disrupted by social and mobile technologies, practitioners need new ways to create stories and engage audiences if they hope to remain relevant and viable. Yet journalists' relationship with technology is fraught. Weighed down by legacy production processes and entrenched ideas about what journalism is, newsrooms have failed to fully exploit the potential of new platforms. But as technology becomes more interwoven in our lives, and interactions move out of the computer and into the everyday world, those practices will need to change. The question is how.This thesis is concerned with the practice of journalism, the practice of design, and what one can learn from the other. In order to argue its central proposition -that design methods are central to the future of journalism practice -the thesis documents and evaluates a design-led approach to addressing a journalistic issue. It does this via the NewsCube: a digital artefact that uses space and shape to tell news stories. The NewsCube is a unique storytelling format.Through a transparent process of concept development, design, prototyping and evaluation, the project detailed in the following pages reveals new possibilities for journalism practice: that stories could be tactile, fun and designed for distributed control.Physicality and playfulness are not values readily associated with journalism, but the work here suggests that such qualities could inform new forms of engagement.
