A Study and Design Proposal for Social News Reading Experience

Chan, Kin Yi Jenny

Abstract Details

2015, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
This thesis begins by studying how people acquire news information. Acquiring news information has different definitions from users with different genders, age groups and backgrounds. The channels range from in-person communication, news reading to social networking. With the availability of emerging digital technologies, it has provided users with multiple usages with all the devices and software application options. The existing news reading patterns suggest that the experience varies based on personal, social and technological influences. Based on the insights from user interviews and overview of existing news applications, new design concepts were explored through co-design sessions. A new design application is proposed with a focus on social connections among readers as a filter to populate news content.
